Florida State Chili Championship
It’s time to dig out your secret chili recipe and get your fire extinguisher ready!
The West Volusia Historical Society proudly announces the:
6th Annual Great Bowls of Fire Chili Cook-Off
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2007
HISTORIC VOLUSIA COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS & AGRICULTURE CENTER
3100 E. New York Ave. (State Road 44 and Interstate 4)
DeLAND, FLORIDA - 11:00 AM- 4:00 PM

The “Hottest Event in Town” will once again transform the Historic Volusia County Fairgrounds, 3100 E. New York Ave (State Road 44 and Interstate 4) DeLand, Florida into a festive, family event that will draw competitors and visitors from all over the United States. The competition will be sanctioned by the Chili Appreciation Society International (CASI), and contestants will vie for trophies, bragging rights, and CASI points to be used for entry into the Terlinqua, Texas National Chili Cook-Off. While the unique chili and showmanship entries (best costume, booth design, or “show”) are judged by local “Celebrities”, the Public will determine the winner of People’s Choice Award. There will be food, entertainment, children’s games, arts & crafts vendors – a family day of fun and excitement!

The West Volusia Historical Society is located at the Henry A. DeLand House Museum and Conrad Education Center at 137 W. Michigan Avenue in DeLand, Florida. Following the mission set by our early Settlers, the Society is celebrating it’s 33rd year preserving local history through museum displays, programs, education, research materials and community outreach. Community support is vital to the continued success of our efforts and we hope you will join us for our unique streetscape venue.

I hope you will join me and the rest of our dedicated Volunteers in making this year’s event a great success!
