The time has arrived. Halloween. Chill temperatures. Bonfires. And most importantly…Chili festivals!

If you missed out on the Belleville Chili Cook-off last week because it was windy, rainy and cold…well it doesn’t seem as though this weekend is going to be that much better. But here’s your 2nd chance to indulge in the deliciousness that is chili, so pull out your jackets and scarves and get out to Soulard for the 2nd Annual Chili Festival to support Lift for Life Academy.

Saturday, October 20th
