Timberfest and Annual Chili Cook-off, Oct 1 2022

Timberfest and the annual neighborhood Chili Cook-off will be Saturday, October 1. Residents and pool members are invited to participate in the Chili Cook-off and enjoy an evening with their neighbors at the park. Last year, Tesla and Steve Smith took home the trophy for their Vegan Chocolate Chili. I’m curious what amazing adornment they’ve added to the coveted trophy.

The event will be as scheduled because the rain missed us.

Schedule

  • Eat and competition 5:00pm

Events:

  • Chili cook-off with the following awards: people’s choice (The big trophy for 1st, 2nd, 3rd places), kids’ choice, board favorite
