Euchre Tournament and Chili Cook-Off

Join us for a Euchre Tournament and Chili Cook-Off at York Golf Club on Saturday, Jan. 14  A new Chamber-sponsored community event invites euchre enthusiasts - and anyone who enjoys a good bowl of chili - to warm up a Saturday afternoon in January with networking, camaraderie and some friendly competition.

The Chamber's Euchre Tournament & Chili Cook-off will take place at York Golf Club on Saturday, Jan. 14, from 2-5 p.m.  (Please note: Players should arrive at 1:30 to receive their first table assignments and rotation instructions.)
Amateur euchre players are invited to play in the progressive-type tournament, which will include a minimum of five rounds. Cash prizes will be awarded to the first- and second-place players and for the last loner. Networking opportunities abound, as players meet new partners as they rotate through the competition. Each player registers as an individual and plays with five randomly assigned partners. 
Home cooks and restaurant chefs alike are invited to participate in another competition at the event, a Chamber Chili Cook-off. Entrants will pay a modest fee to include their chili in the competition, and the combined fees will comprise a cash prize for the overall winner. Both "people's choice" (determined by ballots of event guests) and "professional's choice" (a blind tasting judged by a food critic) awards will be made. Each chili contest entrant should plan to make one gallon or more of chili to be sampled by event guests, along with chips, veggie trays and other snack foods provided. Please bring the chili in a crockpot/slow cooker or other warming device, along with a serving ladle. Electrical outlets will be available; please bring an extension cord. Winners of the chili competition will be announced at approximately 4:30 p.m.
Casual networking and sports TV will be available during the tournament for guests who are not playing euchre or serving chili. A cash bar includes $3 beer and wine offerings. Event and suit sponsors will have company displays on hand to share information about their organizations.
Costs to attend and participate in the euchre tournament are $25 for a Chamber member or $35 for a non-member.
Non-player attendance fees are $15 for a Chamber member or $20 for a non-member.
Chili competition entrants who are not playing in the euchre tournament will pay $10 for a Chamber member or $20 for a non-member.
