About the event
The 2nd Annual Shrove Tuesday Chili Cookoff
Before we head into the quiet season of Lent, let’s throw a party! Join the entire SMAA community for our second annual Chili Cookoff at Sturtevant Hall.
This is the perfect night to take a break from cooking and enjoy a big family dinner with friends old and new. We are looking for the best chefs in our community to battle it out for bragging rights (and prizes!). Not a cook? We need plenty of tasters to serve as judges.
The Competition Categories:
Meat: Bring your best traditional recipe.
Vegetarian: Hearty, meat-free, and delicious.
