Fire & Spice New Hampshire Regional

The Sanbornville Firemen's Association is proud to sponsor the Inaugural Fire & Spice New Hampshire Regional Chili Cook-off in Wakefield NH. Sanctioned by the International Chili Society, this event proves to be fun filled and tasty. The winner advances to the World Chili Cook-off Championships for a chance to win $25,000 and bragging rights. So, if you weekend warriors and culinary perfectionists think you have the best recipe for chili or salsa, let's put it to the test. On September 5^th, 2009 (raindate of September 6^th), our chili cook-off starts with a tribute to firefighters as they march down the main street in town with their fellow firefighters. Coupled with a classic car show and a craft fair, we are expecting a phenomenal turnout. Live music is set to accompany the festivities from a variety of groups. All proceeds benefit the Wakefield Fire Department to help defray the costs of updated fire suppression equipment and training. For more information, to register, or to sponsor our event, go to http://fireandspice.synthasite.com/ or call 603.522.2064.
