The Roland Park Board will be hosting a Chili Cookoff fundraiser on Saturday, November 19 from 5 to 8PM at the Roland Middle School. The money raised is for construction of the Britson Park Athletic Complex in west Roland.
The BPAC will have 2 softball/baseball fields, fields for soccer and youth football, as well as a playground area. Primary users of the athletic fields will be the youth softball program, North Story County Little League, Roland Youth Sports, and for now, practice space for the Chargers football program.
There will be five celebrity judges of the chili. Confirmed so far are the Roland Rocket himself, Gary Thomspon, along with Iowa State Head Softball Coach Stacy Gemeinhardt-Cesler and Iowa State Assistant Football Coach Bill Bleil.
More information will be forthcoming on how to enter. But even if you aren't a contestant, you can still come eat chili (or hot dogs if you aren't a chili fan), participate in various games in the gym, or put a bid down on the silent auction.
Besides the food, games, and auction, there will be information on how you can donate to the Britson Park Athletic Complex. With larger amounts, you can receive a brick with your name on it to be placed near the concession stand.
HERE is a link to a drawing of a layout of the park. The initial phase will be to build only the 2 fields to the west. The 3rd field to the northeast could be built if there becomes a need. For now it will be flat land for soccer or football.
So don't forget, come to compete, or just eat, on Saturday, November 19. Watch for more details on how to enter.
