Eagle Times Staff
LUDLOW, VT — The Ludlow Rotary Club is will hold its 32nd Annual Ludlow Area Chili Cook-off from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m, Saturday, Oct. 7, at the traffic light on Depot Street. Proceeds will benefit the Ludlow Area Rotary Charitable Fund.

The club will welcome chili entries from individuals, clubs and businesses who will pay a $10 entry fee, said cookout chairman Kevin Barnes.

Participants will be provided with a table, ladle and sterno.

Participants are responsible for dropping off their heated chili between 10:30 and 10:45 a.m. the day of the cook-off. Each entry is requested to provide four to five gallons of their chili. The Ludlow Rotary will provide servers if a participant can’t attend, so even if a participant can’t be there, their chili can still win cash and recognition.

Plaques and three cash prizes will be awarded in the “People’s Choice” category and plaques will be awarded to the chili with the most votes in the Judges Choice, Spiciest and Team Spirit categories. Unless arranged otherwise, participants should deliver their heated chili by 10:45 a.m., prepare for set up and ready to serve at 11 a.m.

Participants or sponsors should mail their name, address and phone number along with chili entry fee to: Ludlow Area Rotary Charitable Fund, Inc., PO Box 216, Ludlow, VT 05149. All entry fees and sponsorships are tax-deductible.
