Gulf Coast Electric Cooperative (GCEC) supported the Junior Service League of Port St. Joe by participating in its 13th annual Chili Cook-Off.
According to JSL members, it was one of the largest, if not the largest, turnouts for the event. Volunteers sold out of tasting cups only an hour after the event opened.
The event also featured a car show, live music by Hunter Wall, and booths from dozens of local organizations and vendors.
The Junior Service League is an organization of women committed to promoting volunteerism, developing the potential of women, and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.
While GCEC’s chili cook-off team, The Red Hot Chili Masters, did not place this year, team members said they had a blast at one of the Junior Service League’s largest annual fundraisers.
Profits from this year’s event go toward supplies for local schools, a free prom dress pop-up show and a community Easter egg hunt, among other charitable projects.
