Local businesses, civic groups and creative cooks are encouraged to register in advance for this year’s chili challenge on the Windsor Town Green to determine who has the right “hot stuff.” This year’s Windsor Chamber of Commerce Chili Challenge is proudly sponsored by Windsor Federal Savings and scheduled for Saturday, October 3rd from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM (with a rain date of October 4th). The Challenge has been on Columbus Day weekend for many years, but this year it has been moved back to the original date, the first weekend in October, to avoid conflicts with other activities such as the annual Soccer tournament and the Hartford Marathon. Jane Garibay, Executive Director of the Windsor Chamber of Commerce applauded presenting sponsor Windsor Federal Savings, “It is very special to have a local business support and become involved in what has become a true autumn tradition on the Windsor Town Green.” “There is always plenty of great tasting chili, great costumes and plenty of family fun at this popular event,” said event organizer Kathy Kopacz on behalf of the Windsor Chamber of Commerce, “We are thrilled so many cooks have agreed to return – and we welcome any groups who would like to join in the fun!” If you are interested in sponsoring a competitor, or if you are a first-time cook looking for a sponsor, organizers will help make the match. To register your team or to receive a hand-out outlining helpful information and tips call the Chamber of Commerce at 860-688-5165 or visit the Chamber of Commerce website at www.windsorcc.org.
