Batavia Park District and Batavia Chamber of Commerce teamed up and hosted the 24th Annual State Championship Chili Cook-off on Saturday, July 30th.  We had an excellent turnout of chefs and record breaking numbers of community members in attendance.  The Range won People's Choice for their famous brisket chili and Batavia's own Bill Pierson was the CASI winner.  Thank you to all who participated and made this event successful!
