Winners announced for 6th annual Firefighters Chili Cook-off

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — Micro-Brewed Fertilizer and Cultivating Eden Hydroponics was Saturday’s big winner at the 6th Annual Indian River County Firefighters Chili Cook-off, taking home the People’s Choice Award.

Other winners included Lobster Shanty, Fire Station No. 4, Riverside Theatre, the county’s Utilities Department, Vero Beach Rotary Club, Dodgertown Elementary, Shane Benson, and the Holy Mole Turkey Chili booth.

The chili competition serves as a fund-raiser for various children’s organizations. How much was raised over the 2-day (including the first ever Fest-of-Ale on Friday) has not yet been determined.

Organizer David Dangerfield said that he’s still taking care of the bills and would have the dollar figure later this week.
