• The Chef: Bring a pot of your secret-recipe chili and compete for the honorary "prize."
• The Judge: Come hungry, taste the entries, and help us crown the "Best Chili" champion. (Yes, you can cook and judge—just not your own!)
• The Hero: Sign up as a volunteer for setup or takedown. It is not a huge lift, but we could use a few hands for some "table-lifting" and logistics.

• When: April 16, 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM
• Where: BoatWorks Commons Community Room (4495 Lake Ave S)
• The Fun: Chili tasting, voting, and local trivia provided by Sara Hanson and the White Bear Lake Historical Society.
