Circle of Friends Hosts Chili Challenge Fundraiser March 6

Circle of Friends Ministry will hold its annual Chili Challenge Fundraiser beginning at 5 p.m. Friday, March 6.

The meal includes all you can eat chili, cheese, corn chips, crackers and sour cream. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children age 12 and under. Beef stew and the snack shack will be available for those who don't eat chili.

All proceeds go to the ministry, which for more than 20 years has been enhancing the lives of friends with disabilities.

Chili cooks interested in entering the competition should call 863-679-2507. First, second, third place and people's choice awards will be given.

The event also will include entertainment, music by a DJ and students performing, plus a silent auction, door prizes and fun for the kids.
