Socket Gears Up for the 2015 Rootin' Tootin' Chili Cookoff!

It's Socket tradition to get ready for the Rootin' Tootin' Chili Cookoff by having our own competition in the office - and it sure does make the break room smell wonderful!

Socketeers Vicki, Allie and Mike taste three of the different chilis.

This year's cookoff will be held on February 28th at the Columbia Holiday Inn and Expo Center. It's looking to be the biggest event yet, judging by the growth over the past few years!
 
This will be the 10th anniversary of the Rootin' Tootin' Chili Cookoff, which benefits the Boys and Girls Clubs of Columbia. Tickets are available for only $10 a person and can be purchased online. Tickets can also be purchased for $12 at the door.
 
Last year's event raised over $72,000 for programs benefiting Columbia's at-risk youth. To learn more about the Boys and Girls Clubs of Columbia, including volunteer opportunities, visit bgc-columbia.org.
