County commissioners gave the St. George
Island volunteer Fire Department permission this week to close two roads on the
island this weekend for the 33rd annual Charity Chili Cook-off and
Auction.
On Tuesday the county commission agreed
to close off Chili Blvd and the first block of West Gulf Beach Drive on March 7th
where the cook-off will be held.
The chili cook-off brings thousands
of people and dozens of professional chili cooks to the county and raises well
over 100 thousand dollars every year which makes up nearly half of the fire
departments annual budget.
This year’s event will include
live music from Tobacco Road as well as annual favorites like the miss chili
pepper and mister hot sauce contests.
There is also a crockpot chili
division for amateur cooks.
There is a 5 dollar fee to get
into the park on Saturday.
People are allowed to bring in
coolers or alcohol but can buy beer at the site.
