Join us again on December 5, activities include the 1st annual Chili Cookoff. Enter your best chili in the competition and win $50! Please bring your entry in a crockpot to the Market by 11 am. It’s free to enter and only $5 to buy a ticket to taste all the entries and cast your vote. It is a great way to stay warm while you wait to see the Independence Christmas Parade.
