Chili Cook-Off
This is a great way to get both our summer lake home and permanent residents of the Heart of the Lakes into town. This event has been continuing to grow and currently draws approximately 1000 people that sample chili at various businesses and organizations. We hope that all previous participants will be back again this year and would like to ask those businesses and organizations that have not participated to consider registering this year.
