The Canyon Lake Woman’s Club hosted its Annual Hot Autumn Night Chili Cook-Off on Saturday, drawing about 75 attendees to the Canyon Lake Senior Center for an evening filled with fun, flavor, and friendly competition.

The event featured a chili cook-off contest where participants showcased their best chili recipes. In addition to the competition, there were cornhole games, a drawing, and vendors.

Kim Barkley took first place in the chili cook-off, followed by Jennifer Dain, whose chicken chili earned second place, and Randy Barkley, who placed third. They were awarded custom aprons.
