🎉 The Chili Cook-Off That Fired Up Charlottesville Is BACK, Y’all! 🌶️🔥

It’s time to break out the cowboy boots and the crock pots — the Minutemen MC Chili Cook-Off is ridin’ back into town, and it’s fixin’ to be one heck of a good time!

This year, we’ve got some familiar faces behind the judging table —
Tawne Hayes from The Big Greasy Breakfast and our very own Uncle Pauly from 92-7 C-Ville Country will be tastin’ their way through the best chili in Central Virginia!

🎤 Why are the Minutemen MC doin’ this?
They’re cookin’ up this event for a cause that’s close to the heart.
Becky, a strong, single mama of three, was diagnosed with breast cancer back in May. She had surgery in June, and just one week later — after bravely goin’ back to work — she was let go. Becky’s now facing medical bills and raising her boys on her own, and it’s our turn to lend a hand. 💗

So come on out to the Charlottesville Elks Lodge (on Elk Drive, just off Stony Point Road on Pantops) for a day of homemade chili, heartfelt support, and good ol’ country camaraderie.

🤠 Tawne vs. Uncle Pauly?
They won’t be goin’ head-to-head this time, but the competition’s still gonna be hot ‘n heavy!

🌶️ Got a legendary chili recipe?
Now’s your chance to prove it.

🎶 We’ll see YOU on Saturday, October 19th at the Charlottesville Elks Lodge
with 92-7 C-Ville Country — where chili meets community, and country hearts come together! ❤️🌾
