The countdown is on to this weekend's 36th annual Greater Taylorville Chamber of Commerce Chillifest this Saturday and Sunday on the square.

The event will again host its long-time International Chilli Society sanctioned cookoffs both days.  Cookoff chair Tom Calvert told Regional Radio News at Tuesday night's final committee meeting, that both days of cookoffs have enough cooks to be official I-C-S qualifier events.

For the latest schedule of events, go to the event's web site, chillifest-dot-info, that's chillifest with 2-L's.
