Great time at the Haverhill Firefighting Museum Chili Cookoff yesterday! Back in the day, this was one of the first Haverhill events I brought Riky too before she moved from NYC— I think the chili and community were convincing enough for her to make the move. Thanks to everyone involved in putting together this delicious and staple event.
