SAXTONS RIVER — The hearty smells of chili will waft through the air Saturday, Oct. 24, as the Saxtons River Rec hosts its annual chili contest, from noon to 2 p.m., on Main Street.

For a $5 fee, participants are entitled to endless samples of the chili entries, cornbread to cleanse their palates, and a ballot to choose their favorites in the individual and business categories. Proceeds benefit the Recreation Department and its youth soccer program.

Businesses and individuals may register to participate in the contest by contacting Samantha Fletcher at 802-869-1407 (before 9 p.m., please).

The event features live music, a bake sale and other fundraising activities.
