The public is invited to decide who makes the area’s best bowl of chili this evening. The West Chester Heritage Association is inviting those in town and out of town to its 1st Annual Chili Cook-Off at the West Chester Community Center. Judging will start this evening at 5p.m. The Iowa vs Penn State basketball game will be on the center’s big screen during the cook-off.

The community center, which was a school until 1981, is home to four museums that are preserving the school and city’s history.

According to association event director Carol Hough, tours are available, and the facility can be rented for events. For more information, call Carol at 461-0005.
