BETTENDORF, Iowa — Editor's Note: The video is from the 14th annual chili cookoff.
Hand in Hand leaders are preparing for the return of Quad Cities tradition that helps the organization fund inclusive programs supporting families.
The 15th annual Chili Cook-Off will take place on Feb. 3 from 3-6 p.m. at the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds. The event will feature 15 local teams. Participants will have an opportunity to try each team's chili and choose a winner. There will also be a silent auction, raffles, kid's activities and more for attendees to enjoy.
The fundraising event supports Hand in Hand's children's programming like summer camps, after-school care facilities and adult volunteer programs. These programs allow children and adults to build up their self-confidence and improve their social skills while giving primary caregivers time to work, run errands and have time to themselves.
Tickets at the door are $15 per adult, $5 per child between the ages of six and 12, and children under six get in for free. Tickets can also be purchased on Hand in Hand’s website.
