Tucson Firefighters Chili Cook-Off
The 12th annual Tucson Firefighters Chili Cook-off is tomorrow Nov. 2 - 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
1000 Gallons of Chili and More
More than 1000 gallons of chili will be cooked for this event. There are 34 booths in friendly competition each bringing at least 30 gallons of chili to the event. There will be a wide variety of chili from spicy hot to veggie. The chili is $1.00 a cup and all proceeds will benefit the Tucson Firefighters Adopt-A-Family Program, which assists needy families and children with clothing, food, basic necessities and toys throughout the holiday season.
If you don’t like chili, no problem, there will be roasted corn, hot dogs, and plenty of other things to eat.
Last year more than $51,000 were raised for needy Tucson families at this event. It would be great to raise even more at this year’s cook-off.
Anybody in your family want to be a firefighter? This is the place to meet those idols, see the equipment up close and get to talk to real firefighters. Lots of information, lots of fun, lots of chili are in store for all those attending this great event.
Come out, bring your appetite and your camera. The Tucson Firefighters Chili Cook-Off promises to be a great event for a great cause.
The event is being held at El Presidio Plaza Park 160 W. Alameda Tucson, AZ. The address is a link to a Google Map of the park.
