The fifth annual “Fun in the Sun Chili Cook-off†sponsored by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will be held Saturday, Oct. 2 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Jack Bones Equestrian Center in Castaic.
The Santa Clarita Valley event is expected to draw nearly 4,000 area residents.
Attendees can sample more than 20 chili and other food booths, enjoy live bands, crafts, displays, demonstrations and an expanded Kids’ Zone featuring a petting zoo. Other attractions include children’s games, a jump house, dunk tank and animal adoptions.
For chili cook-off competitors, awards will be given in several categories, including Judges’ Choice, Best Tasting Hot Chili, People’s Choice, Top Chef (Restaurant), Chili Grand Master, Best Theme, Most Creative and Most Spirited.
Awards will be presented at 3:30 p.m.
Serving as chili judges are a trio representing SCV royalty, including Mrs. SCV Dawnel DeRubeis, Miss SCV Melissa Perlstein and Ms. SCV Latonya Robinson.
The event will benefit Special Olympics of Santa Clarita and Heads-Up Therapy on Horseback.
Fueled by the Fallen Memorial Race Cars will showcase eight cars honoring military and law enforcement who have lost their lives since Sept. 11, 2001. The race car tour has been viewed by more than 2 million nationwide.
A rumor that a television crew from Food Network is reportedly following two of the chili competition teams could not be confirmed.
Calls to Food Network corporate offices in New York were not returned.
The Jack Bones Equestrian Center is accessible via the Parker Road exit off the northbound Interstate 5 to Castaic Road south. Continue two miles to Tapia Canyon Road east and follow the signs to the event.
Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for children, with kids under 6 free. Information: (661) 294-6355.
