Due to the forecast of inclement weather, the Hot Springs Board of Realtors’ ninth annual “Cans for Kids Chili Cook Off,” originally scheduled from 4 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 27 at Hot Springs Memorial Field’s terminal building parking lot, is rescheduled for Monday, November 7. The event is co-hosted by the airport. Families are encouraged to attend.
“It’s our biggest project of the year,” event chair Serethia Crawford said. “All of the money raised goes to purchase food for our food pantry. The food is distributed through the Board of Realtors’ office to school counselors who give it to children and families in Garland County that need assistance. The board also provides food for students during school breaks when reduced-cost school meals are not available.”
Each of the 20 different booths registered for the cook off will offer a children’s game or activity, including face painting, bean bag toss, miniature golf, bowling and more. Candy will be given away, and children are invited to wear costumes if they wish. A “bounce house” will also be on hand, along with a silent and live auction. Live music will be provided by Salt & Pepper, Larry Womack, Rachel Mundy, Don Gooch and Diamonds in the Rough.
For the first time, this year’s event will feature seven antique airplanes on display, one coming all the way from Fayetteville.
Tickets, $2 each, may be purchased at the event. For chili entry information, call Crawford, 622-0922.
