Guns ‘N Hoses Chili Cookoff
Come One, Come All, To the First Annual Guns ‘N Hoses Chili Cookoff! On February 23rd from 4p-7p come to the Shops on Trade Street and the Depot in Downtown Tryon for a chili cookoff benefiting the Tryon Fire Alliance. Teams from the Tryon Fire Department and the Tryon Police Department have already signed up to bring their pot’s of chili. We need you, your family and your friends for a night of good food, good drink and fun all around!
This is a free event, but we encourage you to bring some cash to vote for your favorite chili. Each team will have a bucket, the most cash in a team’s bucket wins! All proceeds go directly to the Tryon Fire Alliance, so lets fill those buckets.
Iron Key Brewery will be in town with some of their best beer for sale.
