Hot stuff

Delaware Township’s Annual Harvest Festival, held Sept. 26, brought back and old favorite that had been missing for a while: a chili cookoff! Interest from almost a dozen contestants made it possible to hold the contest, sponsored by Farmers Insurance Agency, again. Each contestant brought at least six quarts of chili; the public voted for their favorites. If they were brave enough to sample the hot entries, a second vote could be casted for their favorite hottest.

The contest was such a hit, some of the contestants ran out of chili early, and many voters had to swing back around and resample their favorites to make the final decision. Innovative entries included bear sausage, caribou, pulled beef, venison and a vegetarian blend, while others were more traditional. The two hottest entries were so hot that the voters were tearing up on their way out of the door.
