Litchfield Presbyterian

It’s back!  For your gastronomic pleasure, the immensely popular Litchfield Church Chili Cook-off Contest returns on Saturday, January 24th at 6:00 PM.  Here’s how it works. Those who want to enter bring their favorite pot of chili (everbody can bring side dishes, of course).  Everybody present samples the chili recipes and then votes for their favorite.  No cook may vote for his or her own chili, but must select their favorite from the others!  The winner will receive the hearty congratulations of all and a gift certificate for dinner for two at, where else?… Chili’s Restaurant!  Will it be the “four-alarm” firehouse chili, or the five-bean special?  Perhaps the chili con polo chicken chili, or the Tex-Mex veggie? Or maybe your own unique family secret recipe?  Come on, bring your chili and enjoy hot food and warm friendship on a cold mid-winter evening!  You don’t have to bring chili to come and enjoy… everybody is welcome and there will be plenty for all!

A big thank you to all who helped to make the Church Holiday Craft Fair a great success.  Special thanks to the organizing committee, Terry Jefferson, Cindy Couture, Marge Dabrowski and Jan Hillson.  The many vendors with delightful crafts, the delicious baked goods, the great soups, chili and hot dogs from Wayne’s kitchen, the generous local merchants and friends of the church and of course the fabulous quilt raffle; all these came together to make this, as some said, the most enjoyable and successful Holiday Craft Fair ever.  Over $4000 was raised to benefit the church.
