Taste of Rolla Chili Cook-Off set for March 9

Which locally owned restaurant makes the best chili in Rolla? Well, you get to vote on it at the Taste of Rolla Chili Cook-Off which will be held on Saturday, March 9  from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Eugene Northern Community Hall (located at 400 West 4th Street).

Thirteen locally owned restaurants will provide healthy portions of their specially made chili to be sampled by you, and then you will vote for your favorite. Chili, hot dogs and soda will be available for purchase with all proceeds going to Special Olympics Missouri. Musical entertainment will be provided by the popular classic acoustic guitar rock group, Trilogy.

This event, which is sponsored by the Rolla Police Department, is a Law Enforcement Torch Run event to support Special Olympics Missouri athletes. The Rolla Police Department has been an avid supporter for Special Olympics for over 30 years, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for local athletes. Please come out and help us help the athletes.
