“Yes it's still hot, but fall is just around the corner, and that means chili!  Please mark your calendars for the Habitat for Humanity Chili Cook-Off on Friday, Oct. 13!” said Alex Woodward, president of Habitat for Humanity of DeKalb County. “The proceeds from the event will be used toward building another Habitat house with a DeKalb County family. So take a look at your calendars and recipes, and let us know if you would like to participate. We had a record breaking 21 teams last year, and we'd love you back!”
