Who Makes the Meanest Chili in Town?

The Boys and Girls Club of Ukiah offers academic, wellness, and arts programs that help countless Ukiah children. And all that programming requires money, which is why every year Granite Construction hosts its Chili Cook-Off. At the fundraiser, local businesses conjure up pots of spicy meat and beans, which attendees taste, voting on their favorites. The event happens on September 9 at 6 p.m. at the Alex R. Thomas Jr. Plaza in downtown Ukiah. Tickets are $5–$10; kids 5 and younger get in free. For more information, go to facebook.com/GraniteConstructionChiliCookOff.
