Dick Driml Chili Cookoff

After a year hiatus, the Dick Driml Chili Fundraiser is back at McCook Community College and is set for Feb. 19 at the Peter and Dolores Graff Events Center.

This event was established to honor an important music teacher and to raise funds for the MCC Music Department.

This year, once again the college is calling all chefs to make this year the best chili fundraiser year ever with full participation from as many chefs as possible. 

Judges will only judge roasters of more than 10 quarts, but will accept smaller crockpots as a donation. There are categories for businesses and for individuals.

Drop off will be Feb. 19 between 11:00-11:30 a.m. at the northwest entrance of the auxiliary gym, in the Peter and Dolores Graff Events Center. Judging will take place from 11:45 a.m.-1 p.m. The doors will open to the public at 1:30 p.m.

The MCC women’s and men’s basketball teams will play Otero Junior College at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. and chili will be served until halftime of the men’s game.

Forms are available via email from Dr. Cabrera at cabreram@mpcc.edu
