Music! Fun! Friends! Kids’ Games! Tours! It’s the 2nd Annual Chili Cook-Off!

The Deborah’s Place Chili Cook-Off, hosted by the President’s Circle, resumes for its second fabulous year! Please join us for a child-friendly afternoon of food and activities to support the women and work of Deborah’s Place. Bring a crock pot of your own chili and see how it stands up to our other cooks, or just come for the tasting and fun!
