Chili Cookoff set for July 10 Fallbrook Summer Nights

FALLBROOK – The Fallbrook Village Association, host of this year’s Fallbrook Summer Nights events, has announced that the July 10 event, themed “A Salute to First Responders,” will include a Chili Cookoff sponsored by the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Merchants Association.

Chamber CEO Lila MacDonald will be handling all details of the Chili Cookoff, and is now actively recruiting participants. Registration is $20 per team, and done through the Chamber. Ten percent of the proceeds will be donated to local first responders. Attendees at the July 10 Summer Nights “Salute” will be able to taste the chili prepared by the teams for a fee of $10 per person.

Prizes for the Chili Cookoff participants will include a People’s Choice Award for first and second place. There will also be a Best Booth Presentation awarded.

This Fallbrook Summer Nights event will be recognizing fire, EMT, paramedic, sheriff, CHP, CalFire and C.E.R.T. responders. General admission is free, with the exception of the chili tasting. Music that night will be provided by the Tony Suraci Trio in the beer and wine garden, and there will be children’s activities available as well, featuring an obstacle course for kids set up by North County Fire Protection District.

Anyone interested in providing a team for the Chili Cookoff can call the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce at (760) 728-5845, or e-mail [email protected].
