Which fire station has the best chili? Come to the Noblesville Farmers Market on Oct. 12 to sample each chili and cast a vote for your favorite in the third annual Noblesville Firefighters Chili Cook-off. Sampling and voting will take place from 9 to 11 a.m. The votes will be counted and at 11:30 a.m. the winning fire station will be presented with a People’s Choice traveling trophy to be displayed at their fire station until next year’s competition.
“The first two chili cook-offs were very successful and a lot of fun. Station 75 has won the competition the previous two years, so they will be trying to defend their crown,” said Jeff Zeckel, event organizer. “This event offers the public a chance to come out and thank our local firefighters.”
In addition to the chili cook-off, a steel beam that was recovered from the site of the World Trade Center will be on display as well as an antique fire truck and a modern fire truck. During the Farmers Market, firefighters will be accepting new toys and monetary donations to help this year’s NFD Christmas Food and Toy Drive.
The Noblesville Farmers Market will be open from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and is held at the Riverview Hospital overflow parking lot at the intersection of Ind. 32 and Ind. 19. For more information, contact Noblesville Main Street at 776-0205.
