Chili cookoff to benefit Jack’s House of Hope

Looking for Top Chili Chefs to compete in JHOH Inaugural Chili Cookoff on January 18th, 12 – 4 PM at the Schoolhouse in Zoar.

The Friends of the Homeless of Tuscarawas County is holding a FREE Chili Cookoff to share information with the community about the Jack’s House of Hope campaign to build a new shelter and to learn about some of the individuals in our county who are currently without a permanent home.

Bring your kids, your dogs (if friendly) and enjoy a complete chili supper including salad, bread or crackers and other goodies donated by volunteers, local churches and made and served by folks volunteering, working or living in the existing shelter.

All are welcome to cast their vote for your favorite chili (or chef 🙂

· First prize – Top Chili Cookoff Chef – $200 and an engraved spoon (selected by guest professional chefs only)

· Second prize – People’s Choice Chili Cookoff Chef award – $100 and an engraved spoon (selected by cookoff attendees)

· Third prize – Chili Cookoff Runner Up Chef – $50 and an engraved spoon (selected by cookoff attendees)

If you are a chili chef, whether in a restaurant, a church, a home or you have a family recipe handed down, or you have questions about the event, please call 330-204-7657 or email constanceclark66@gmail.com to reserve your spot and get details.
