It's chili time again! The 2008 Annual Kennett Jaycees Chili Cook-off will get under way this weekend, starting another eventful year of good fun and good food.

The early deadline of $25 per team has ended, therefore, any teams wishing to enter the contest now will be penalized $5, making the entry fee $30 at the door.

The Jaycees Chili Cook-off consist of several rules and regulations. They include:

* There is a maximum of five members per team. Each additional team member after five will have to pay an additional $5.

* Food must be prepared and cooked on site and in a sanitary manner. (Cooking conditions are subject to inspection by Chili Cook-off committee members).

* Food must be prepared in the open and enough must be prepared to provide enough for samplers, as well as for the entry itself.

* Teams must provide sample containers, bowls and spoons for taste tests.

* All samples must be turned in to designated station by 12:30 p.m. for blind judging. (Teams can begin cooking at any time after 8:30 a.m. on the day of the competition).

Winners of the Blind Judging and People's Choice will be announced between 1p.m. and 1:30 p.m., with first, second and third place trophies going to each.

Doors will open to the public at 11:30 a.m. There will be a $5 charge at the door, which will include all-you-can-eat chili. Hot dogs and other refreshments will be sold at the concession stand.

After the chili cook-off, there will be a hot dog eating contest for children ages 12 and under.

If there are any questions, call Joey Presley at (573) 344-2100.
