 With autumn here, our thoughts go to homemade comfort foods, stews, lasagna, and of course, chili. This Friday, there is a chili cook-off planned in Pikeville. And as Rick Branham, director of the Pike County Schools Homeless Education Program, and Anna Wakeland, director of the West Care Emergency Homeless Shelter explains, this promises to be a large cook-off. We've got 20-some people signed up to participate. Several different kinds of chili. And we've got, it's going to be a fight because we've got defending winners that are all competing. We've got the Pike County Schools Food Service who won the first, when we first started. And then we've got the Popple Rotary that had won year before last, but then we've got the Shelby Valley High School students that won last year. So you've got three winners there that are all coming back this year. And the Sheriff's Office was a runner-up, so they're really coming after that title too. The fee is nominal and proceeds go to the West Care Emergency Homeless Shelter. And it's $5. All the proceeds go to the shelter. Everything that's made there that day will go to the West Care Emergency Shelter. You get your chili, your sample, you get your sample each chili. You get a 16 ounce chili cup. You get a 16 ounce chili cup, crackers and a sweet treat and a drink for $5. But then you get to sample, as Anna said, you get to sample all 20 chilies. And pick the one you like best. That's the one you fill your 16 ounce bowl with. The chili cook-off is tomorrow, September 27th at the Pinkville City Park from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.
