A chili cook-off and a networking activity await Newcastle residents through events by the Newcastle Chamber of Commerce.
The Community-Wide Chili Cook-Off is first from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, January 24 at the Newcastle Christian Church, 2200 N. Main St. Proceeds made from the event will go to the area’s first responders. This is the same chili cook-off originally scheduled in December, but which was postponed. Businesses and organizations can sign up and participate for $25 per chili entry. To register, email chamber@newcastleok. org.
Area residents can take part by paying $10 for taster samples and a serving of your favorite chili with all the fixings, drinks and desserts. The chili cook-off is sponsored by Walmart.
A January Business Networking Luncheon, sponsored by OEC Electric & Fiber, is from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, January 28 at the Newcastle Library Community Room.
