Is your bowl o' red so tasty that it has what it takes to win some competitions? Then take a crack at the blue ribbon in the Industrial Arts Center's Industrial Strength chili cook-off on Saturday, September 25th in Gulfport.
The event will showcase kicked up chilis from 20 different entrants, event guests getting to sample all of them (if they dare). There will also be live music by Silk Heat — and plenty of antacids to go around that night.
First, second and third place winners will receive hand blown chili pepper trophies. Attendees will have an opportunity to vote for the People's Choice Award at a cost of $1 per vote. Proceeds will support the Industrial Arts Center operating fund.
