Fireman's Chili Challenge - 11a to 1p

No one does chili better than the Saline Firefighters, right?  After years of stirring up scorching batches of bubbling chili, they know chili best.  Then we paired them with the Culinary Arts students in the South & West Consortium's program at Saline High School and the chili got even better! 

Working in teams, the firemen and students will cook up 10 inventive and fantastic varieties of piping hot chili.   Don't miss this chance to sample unique  chili recipes served up with a chunk of homemade cornbread.

As a special treat, Fire Chief Craig Hoeft has graciously shared his famous "Chief's Chili" recipe...download it and get a preview of things to come!

How do you top all that?  By making sure that all the proceeds from the chili sales go to a scholarship fund!  In June,  the Saline Downtown Merchants Association will present a $500 scholarship to a graduating student pursuing an education in a Culinary Arts related field.

Make sure to take part of this year's Fireman's Chili Challenge!
