“We provide the spoons; you provide the appetite!” exclaimed John Clinger, owner of Old Mill Brewpub and founder of the chili cookoff. “This is a great family event in the Town of Lexington you won’t want to miss, so be sure to bring your friends and an appetite for great-tasting chili!”
For chili enthusiasts and those looking to support local charities, the 10th Annual Lexington County Chili Cookoff promises a day of delicious samples and lively entertainment in downtown Lexington.
