ACE-HTI will host its second annual chili cook-off next week, combining culinary competition, professional networking, and a fundraiser to support local families during the holiday season.

The event, held in partnership with the Kernersville Chamber of Commerce’s Business During Hours series, will run from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 21 at ACE-HTI, 1460 Hampton Plaza Dr., Suite E.

Attendees can taste the competitors’ chili and vote for their favorite. Admission is free but donations for the chili samples will be accepted.

All proceeds will benefit the Salvation Army in Kernersville.
