BECOME A Volunteer
It takes many ingredients to make a great pot of chili, and it takes many people to help throw a great event! There will be volunteer opportunities from setting up the day before, helping out during the event and tearing down after. All volunteers will get free entry to the event and a special t-shirt to commemorate their involvement.
