We'll have some cool amenities for this event such as POT WASHING offered by the Groton Lions. Your pots can be taken from the CT. State CCO or dropped off at the "Chili By The Sea" District Chili Cookoff site and tagged,washed, and sanitized and brought to the "Chili By The Sea" District Chili Cookoff for YOU!
