Muncie, IN—The Haiti Library Foundation, Inc. based out of Muncie is hosting its 10th Annual Chili Cook-Off Challenge. The annual event pits 14 cooking teams comprised of primarily local businesses, organizations and individuals. Teams compete against one another in various categories:

Attendees of the Chili Cook-Off get samples of chili from each team, appetizers, drinks, and desserts. Plus, with their paid admission, each participant receives a ballot to cast their vote for the favorite team for the coveted People’s Choice Award.
