Polson Rotary Club chili cook-off generates $20,000 for Mission Valley Aquatic Center
POLSON — They came in varying thicknesses and consistencies, with different levels of heat and spiciness. Some piled on the meat while others were beany in nature. Further tailored with unique blends of cheese, sour cream and other extra toppings, the diversity of chili was on full display on Saturday’s chili cook-off at Riverside Park in Polson. Regardless of type, all of the chili seemed to hit the spot at the annual Rotary Festival for Youth, coordinated by the Rotary Club’s Polson chapter.
