The Better Middlebury Partnership and the Town of Middlebury are thrilled to announce the 2nd Annual Middlebury Winter Carnival & Chili Contest, taking place on Saturday, February 27, 2010. Named one of the Top 10 Winter Events of 2010 by The Vermont Chamber of Commerce, the event includes sled dog demonstrations, snowshoe races, live music and award-winning chili on the streets of historic downtown Middlebury!
Over a thousand people attended last year’s carnival, and even more are expected to turn out this year for the headlining event: a pro/am chili contest, taking place on the sidewalks of Main Street and Merchants Row from 2-4pm. The downtown will be overflowing with chili from over 40 restaurants, caterers and amateurs from around the state. The public picks professional and amateur winners in eight categories – including Best Beef Chili, Best Poultry Chili, Best Veggie Chili, a best ‘Kitchen Sink’ category, and Best Overall Chili. Anyone is welcomed and encouraged to enter. Registration forms can be found on The Better Middlebury Partnership website and must be submitted by February 13.
Passes for unlimited samples of chili will be available at the event for $1 kids (under 12) / $2 adults, or in advance at The Alpine Shop, American Flatbread, Forth n’ Goal, Green Peppers, Rosie’s Restaurant, Sweet Cecily and Two Brothers Tavern.
