Taylorville Chillifest is right around the corner, appearing on October 5th and 6th on the Taylorville Square. The 39th year will bring Chili Pepper Pageants, live performances, a myriad of vendors, and of course, all the chili you can eat. Linda Allen, Executive Director of the Greater Taylorville Chamber of Commerce is proud to host the town's marquee event for yet another year and said coordination and meetings have been successful, especially for the pageant.

Taylorville Schools will be on display with their jazz band and other possible shows. Allen says the chamber's chili recipe and product will be coming from J.I McDowell, Owner of Angelo's.

Chillifest was only possible with the many local businesses that have gotten involved in the tier sponsorship system, with all tiers titled with different peppers. Andrew Lahey, GTCC Board Member reads off some of the sponsors.
