Some of the best chili to be found in Suffolk will be at Lake Prince Woods retirement community on Sept. 12 at noon, during a chili cook-off to raise money for the community’s team in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s.
Mike Williams of Baron’s Pub will face competition from Lake Prince Woods staff, as well as representatives from Home Instead Senior Services.
Celebrity judges are Jackie Cherry, executive director of Suffolk Center for Cultural Arts; Darren Schultz, owner of Copico, and the Rev. Dr. Woodie Rea, director of spiritual life for Lake Prince Woods.
“Our Cupcake Wars fundraiser for Relay for Life was so successful we decided to try a different spin as a fundraiser for our Alzheimer’s Walk team,” said Judy Raymond, Lake Prince Woods’ executive director.
According to Denise Brown, resident services director, 11 residents are on the team and are looking forward to their second year of participating.
The chili cook-off is open to public. Tickets are $5, and all proceeds go to the Lake Prince Woods Alzheimer’s Walk team.
Lake Prince Woods is a residential retirement community nestled among the woods by Lake Prince, off of King’s Fork Road. For more information, visit www.lakeprincewoods.org.
