Chili Fest started in 2006 on a rainy day with 8
chili's and about two dozen attendees.  House
band, then Carolina Dog, now known as Wrong
Element played under a pop-up tent to the crowd.  
Rosie Donoho took Best Chili that year and would
prove to be a force to be reckoned with in years to
come.  Chili Fest has grown to a festival with over
two dozen chili's and over 400 festival goers.   In
2010, Chili Fest donated proceeds to benefit
Second Saturdays Art Happenings, a local
community art program.
