Cornwall, Ontario - “We can work together to improve the lives of people living in poverty in this community.” says Alyssa Blais, Executive Director. One such way is by participating in Agapè’s 2011 Chili Run. The Agapè Centre and the Cornwall Farmers Market have partnered together to host the 2011 Chili 5k Run / Walk, June 18th, in Downtown Cornwall. The 5k Run/Walk will take place at 10:00 A.M.
And this year the Agapè Centre has decided to add a little spice to the 5k Run / Walk with a CHILI COOK-OFF. Prizes will be given for the "Best Overall Chili” voted by a carefully chosen panel of chili tasters: Cornwall Farmers Market Manager Keitha Fisher, Councillor Dave Murphy and the Chair of Team Cornwall, Gilles Latour. A prize will also be given for the “People’s Choice” voted on by chili enthusiasts.
A $10 tasting kit will be available at the registration table at the Cornwall Farmers Market. The kit will contain 10 tickets to sample different chilis, a ballot to vote for the best of the best, and a bottle of water to help cleanse the palette!
