Chill in the Air? That Means Chili Down at Level 8!

Evansville Community Partnership’s 7th Annual Chili
Cook-Off on Saturday, March 3rd

It’s that time again! Chili lovers all over town are
dusting off their tasting spoons and Matthias James
bowls. And the chili makers are pulling those crock
pots off the shelf, tweaking their recipes, and
dreaming of winning the grand prize bowl on the big
day!

The Evansville Community Partnership’s 7th Annual
Chili Cook-Off will be held on Saturday, March 3rd,
from 6:00 until 9:00 p.m. at Level 8 (formerly the Red
Barn), 7530 North County Trunk M. For the second
year, judging will take place prior to the arrival of
the general public.

Once again this year there will be no shortage of fun
activities for the whole family to enjoy. Dance to
your favorite songs. Belt out a tune during Kombat
Karaoke. Bid on some exciting items during the silent
auction. Win prizes. Sample the contestant’s
entries, and, of course, enjoy a bowl of the delicious
all-you-can-eat house chili—or spaghetti and sauce for
the chili-shy! There will also be fun activities for
the kids.

Tickets are $15 prior to the event and $20 at the
door. Kids under 13 are free. Pre-event tickets are
available for purchase at: Ace Hardware, Bank of
Evansville, Eager Free Public Library, M&I Bank, Night
Owl, Piggly Wiggly, Real Coffee, UB&T, and the ECP
office. Once again, with each paid admission
attendees will receive a hand-thrown pottery chili
bowl made by local artist Matthias James.

For cooks who would like to throw their chili into the
ring, the registration fee remains at $25.00 and
includes a voucher for $10.00 worth of ingredients
(generously donated by Evansville’s own Piggly
Wiggly), two tickets to the event, and a chili bowl.
The 2007 Registration Form is available in the
Evansville Review, or at the ECP office. Interested
contestants can also request a form by contacting
