Painesville's 2023 Community Chili Cook Off Winners
Congratulations to our 2023 Painesville Community Chili Cook Off winners! On Saturday, September 23, all our contestants brought the flavor to the competition and sampling them was a difficult (but enjoyable) task. All proceeds go to future Recreation Department events, like Painesville Fall Fest and Spirit of the Season.
