The Poudre Canyon Fire Fighters are preparing for one of their hottest events of the year, their annual chili cookoff! A tradition begun in March of 2012 as a fundraiser for the fire department,
the event will be held in the Poudre Canyon Fire Station #2 at 6:00 pm. In addition to the chili competition, there will be a live and a silent auction and numerous door prizes. So far, auction items include Rockies tickets, Archery lessons, a sunset cruise on Terry Lake, a New Belgium bicycle, and gift certificates from local venders.

Funds raised will be used to purchase new equipment, provide training for fire fighters and emergency medical staff and to match grants.
