Melissa Kunz of HWMO talking to visitors about the upcoming Firefighter Chili Cook-Off.
August 26 is just around the corner. What’s so special about that date? HWMO is having its first major fundraiser that day. Save the date!
The Firefighter Chili Cook-Off will showcase four teams of local firefighters who will go face-to-face in a chili competition judged by none other than Sam Choy, one of the founders of Pacific rim cuisine. There will, however, also be a people’s choice award winner. That’s where you come in! Come join us for a barn-good time by trying the different chili recipes using local ingredients from the island. The event’s very first sponsor was Parker Ranch, a long-time friend of the organization.
Parker Ranch was gracious enough to not only provide a beautiful space for the event, but they also let us have a booth right near the grandstands for the extremely popular 4th of July Rodeo and Horse Races event. HWMO’s team set-up a booth to sell tickets for the event, while also distributing hundreds of invites to visitors. The Chili Cook-Off was also announced several times on the PA for the hundreds of visitors to hear.
We hope you can join us for the Firefighter Chili Cook-Off. Tickets are available now — don’t miss out!
Mahalo nui loa, Parker Ranch!
