On Saturday, Feb. 2, breakfast is served from 7 a.m. to noon.

At 1 p.m. on Saturday, the annual chili cook-off, tasting and judging begins. A great time, bragging rights, tastings, trophies and cash are on the line.

Here is the list of distinguished judges from Larry Doll, the chairman of the cook-off.

*Tim Walberg – US House of Representatives, Michigan 7th District

*Mark Ouimet – Former Michigan State House of Representatives, 52nd District

*Brandon Johns – Chef/owner Grange Kitchen & Bar, Ann Arbor

On Sunday, Feb. 3, breakfast is served from 7 a.m.-noon.

At 3 p.m., there’s a raffle drawing and the three day carnival comes to an end.
