The Paulding Chamber of Commerce held their annual cook-off at Branch Christian Fellowship on Friday, January 11th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a perfect day for a hot bowl of chili. With 12 pots of chili to choose from the competition was steep, but with 105 votes the First Presbyterian Church claimed the traveling trophy for the second year in a row, with a whole new recipe too! Coming in second with 72 votes was the Paulding United Methodist Church and with 71 votes CoRP (Community Revitalizing Paulding) came in third place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All participating Chamber members and community members enjoyed each other\u2019s company, tasted a lot of good chili and helped raise a little over $300 for the Paulding Chamber of Commerce. The money raised will be used to help the Chamber, help its members with fun and new initiatives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chamber appreciates all who participated and looks forward to next year\u2019s cook-off. Will the First Presbyterian Church take the trophy for the third year in a row?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
