Cloverdale will be hosting a pre-rodeo event - the chili cook off - on Friday May 18 2012 in the Clover Square Village on the corner of Highway 10 and 177B Street.
Several groups will be cooking up batches of chili and offering samples. Testing is free but they ask you to vote for the group you thought cooked the best chili. You can also fill out an entry form and win prizes donated by Cloverdale merchants. If you enter the draw you have to be there when they draw to win a prize or you are out of luck so plan on sticking around to about 7pm to see if you're a lucky winner.
Between 4:30pm and 6:30pm there will also be live music. Parking may be a bit tricky because much of the parking lot is taken over by the groups setting up for the chili cook off. Try entering on the west side of the mall where the old Rogers Video used to be next to the Clydesdale Inn. There is parking behing the mall, behind where IGA is.
If you think you have a recipe that has what it takes to win, here is the entry form http://www.cloverdale.bc.ca/chamber/2012%20Chili%20Cook%20off%20app.pdf
This is kind of a pre-rodeo kick off event. The fairgrounds will be open from 4pm to midnight if you want to head over there and enjoy the midway rides. Admission to the fairgrounds is $12.
Admission to the chili cook off is free. And free to test the chili. The groups provide little paper cups and spoons.
