If you think you can make the best chili or dessert at Hopkins, why don't you enter the 9th Annual Johns Hopkins Chili Cook-Off?
This cook-off, which also includes a bake-off for desserts of every kind, takes place at the Glass Pavilion on Dec. 9th from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. It benefits the JHU Campaign for United Way of Central Maryland and the Johns Hopkins Neighborhood Fund.
The deadline to enter your chili or baked good is Friday, Dec. 2nd at 5 p.m. You can register without a fee at www.jhu.edu/unitedway or by calling 443-997-6060.
Prizes will be given out to the first, second and third places, awarded by guest judges. There will also be a "People's Choice" award, decided on by popular vote. For five dollars, you can sample all the chili and baked goods while they last and enjoy lunch, which includes (predictably) more chili, cornbread, dessert and a drink.
Another five dollars will get you a raffle ticket to win four tickets and a parking pass to Dec. 24th Raven's game. The drawing for the winners will take place during the cook-off.
Tickets are sold in advance at the Office of Work, Life and Engagement, or they can be purchased at the door of the event.
