From the Conway Chamber of Commerce
January 2010, Conway, S.C. — Entries are now being accepted for the first “Don’t Forget Tomorrow Is Valentine’s Day Chili Cook-Off” on Saturday, Feb. 13, from noon to 3 p.m. at the Mini Mall Flea Market, located at 2300 Church St. in Conway. Entries are $5 per vendor and can be picked up at the Mini Mall Flea Market until Monday, February 8. Participants must be pre-registered and DHEC approved prior to the event.
A portion of the proceeds from entry fees will be donated to The Shepherd’s Table, a nonprofit organization in downtown Conway, supported by volunteers, religious organizations, businesses, foundations, and individual donors. The mission of The Shepherd’s Table is to provide help to people who are homeless or in need by providing hot meals on a daily basis.“A chili cook-off is an event that everyone enjoys and it’s our way of saying ‘Thank you and Happy Valentine’s Day’ to the community,” said Tim DeBardelaben. “The response to the Mini Mall Flea Market has been phenomenal, and we’re expressing our gratitude through our partnership with The Shepherd’s Table. The Shepherd’s Table is a wonderful mission-oriented nonprofit organization, and we’re certainly honored to help contribute to its success.”
The chili cook-off is open to the public, who will serve as the judges of the events. Cook-off officials are encouraging guests to vote early and vote often by making $.25 donations to each cook-off competitor. The cook who has collected the most quarters at the end of the event wins.
