The second annual Tri‑Club Chili Cookoff brought plenty of spice—and even more laughter—to River Winds in Saco on April 23. Rotarians from Saco Bay, Saco Bay Sunset, and Biddeford‑Saco clubs packed the room for an evening of friendly competition, good food, and even better company. For just $5 (or free entry with a pot of chili), members, family, and friends sampled their way through a lineup of creative, flavorful entries.
In true Rotary fashion, voting was delightfully low‑tech: each guest received a single bean to cast for their favorite chili. When the cups were counted, Jeff Slaton of the Saco Bay Club took first place and $200, while Alicia St. Michel of Saco Bay Sunset earned second place and donated her $100 prize back to her club.
A warm, spirited night of fellowship—proof that Rotary service pairs perfectly with a little heat.
