On Friday, Oct. 29, Rutherford County government will host its annual Chili Cook-off benefiting United Way of Rutherford and Cannon Counties. The event will take place outdoors in the inner circle of the Public Square in downtown Murfreesboro.

Departments will compete in three categories: Regular, Hot, and Unique. Booths and accompanying costumes will also be judged. For $5, you can eat all the chili you want. Silent auction items will be up for bid at each booth as well. ALL proceeds benefit United Way. Tickets are available in the Mayor’s Office or will be for sale day of the event.  

Come on out and enjoy the fun, friendly competition and fill up on some delicious chili!
