Missing those summer cookouts? Hungry for char-grilled hamburgers and hot dogs? Join Arthurdale Heritage on Saturday, January 22 for our annual “Beat the Heat” Barbecue. This year we’re adding a Chili Cook-off in which contestants will share their own chili recipe for a chance to win $100! Festivities will begin at 2 p.m. at the Center Hall.

Door Fee – gives you access to taste and vote on the chili: $2.00 at the door for adults, children 5 to 11 – $1.00, kids under 5 – free.

We’re inviting our local chefs to come and share their chili with everyone. Participants can setup from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Contestants should bring at least 3 quarts of chili in a container, such as a crock pot or pan, and stand with Sterno to keep the food warm. We will provide sampling cups and spoons. The entry fee for the contest is $10.00. If you are a student interested in participating, the entry fee is $5.00. To participate in the chili cook-off, please fill out the online registration form at https://www.arthurdaleheritage.org/beat-the-heat/cookoff-registration/ .

We will also have our delicious char-grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, french fries, sloppy joes, baked beans, homemade desserts and beverages!

Bring the Kids!
