The Military Affairs Committee Chili Cook-off and the Sounds at Six are combining to create a family-friendly event this Friday in downtown Hopkinsville.
Twenty-four chili teams have registered to compete and Hopkinsville Parks and Recreation Coordinator Toby Hudson and Superintendent Tab Brockman say while the cooking starts in the morning, the public will be able to sample the chili for $3 starting around 4:30 p.m.
That will roll into Sounds of Six Friday evening, with Brockman saying the Rewind Band will take the stage and get people up and dancing.
This year’s event also has a Batter Capital corn bread contest, with competitors provided with cornmeal—the grand prize winner of the chili cook-off will take home $1,000 and bragging rights, with second, third, best theme and crowd favorite also taking home cash prizes.
