More teams are needed for the 2021 Habitat for Humanity of DeKalb County Chili Cook-Off and Bake Sale which is scheduled for Friday, October 22 from 10:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. on the DeKalb County Courthouse lawn.
Make a donation to Habitat and eat all the chili you want and vote for your favorite.
So far only 5 teams have committed to participate this year but 10 teams are needed for the event to take place. Also, the event will be canceled in the event of rain as there will be no alternate indoor rain location this year.
“Usually, we use the County Complex as a rain location. But this year, we are not comfortable hosting an indoor event due to COVID concerns. So, we plan to make a final call on Wednesday, Oct. 20 at 10 a.m. If the weather looks good, we’ll host the event outside! If the weather looks terrible, we’d encourage you to cook and serve chili from your own business location, donating any proceeds to DeKalb County Habitat for Humanity,” said spokesperson Tecia Puckett Pryor.
“We also need to know by Friday, October 8 if you would like to participate with a team this year. Again we need a minimum of 10 teams committed to host the event. Each team is asked to make 5-6 gallons of chili. New teams are welcome,” said Pryor.
