Hot Tamale! Calling all Chili Cooks and Connoisseurs

Nothing warms your heart more on a fall afternoon than some tasty chili – and if its for a good cause, well that’s about as heart warming as it gets.

The Greater Eastside Chamber of Commerce is inviting the community to help support the Grayson Cluster School Foundation and the chamber in the 7^th Annual Hot Tamale Chili Cook-off in on Nov. 5.

So if you’re a chili cook, or a chili connoisseur, GECC is looking for you. It’s not too late to enter your best chili recipe to try and earn top honors in the cook-off but you will need to hurry, because booth space is assigned on a first come, first served basis. There is no fee for GCSF student/staff organizations;  $20 for individuals, non-business, $35 for business/professional and $40 for an arts or crafts sales booth.

There are also sponsorship opportunities to promote your business, but time is pretty short for these entries. Sponsorship entries include a Jumpin Jalapeño (Bronze) Sponsorship at $125 – A Spicy Serrano (Silver) Sponsorship at $250 , a Ring of Peppers (Gold) $500 Sponsorship and a Chili Crown (Platinum) Sponsorship at $1,000.

For questions about entry or these various sponsorships and how they will benefit your business, contact Debbie Laney at 770-262-9889 or email ganarubenin@gmail.com.

The event will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 5, at the Grayson Community Park in Grayson. Tickets for entry to the public will be $5 per person.
