The 28th Annual Old Saybrook Chili fest takes place along Main Street, Old Saybrook. Over 20 chefs will compete for the title of "Best Chili," as determined by you, the voting public.
Tasting ballots are sold at the Chamber office (1 Main Street) and at ballot stations along Main Street. Each ballot allows purchaser to sample all chilis. Mark your ballot with your top choice and return to a ballot station. A total of 10 chilis must be tasted for your vote to count.
Proceeds support the Chamber's C. Wilfred Hunter Memorial Scholarship for graduating high school seniors attending post-secondary school. In addition, the top three winners earn a donation to their designated charity.
Ballots will go on sale starting Monday, February 24th online and in person at the Chamber office for $15 each.
