Chili Cook Off!

From wild to mild, the Chili Cook Off at Harp and Fiddle had something for every palate! Thank you to Chef Jerry, Declan and the team at Harp and Fiddle … the amazing contestants who made it so difficult to choose a favorite … our beverage vendors who also ‘spiced’ things up … the Acoustiholics for entertainment… our wonderful volunteers, Tony and Tami Harrington … and of course our sponsors: Chris Varco, Origin Point and Jocelyn McGovern, the McGovern Group.

 Proceeds benefit our Park Ridge Chamber that plays such an important role in supporting both local businesses and residents in our community!
