ever, there are some changes to the event this year that organizer Emily McBurney thinks will draw even more people to the organization’s biggest annual fundraiser.

Warsaw– The River View Park Board will host its 7th annual Parktoberfest on Saturday, Sept. 24 from 4 – 7 p.m. at the River View Park. The event is held earlier this year so as not to conflict with the Ohio State football schedule. Each year, no fewer than 10 chili contestants create their best chili and vie for the “People’s Choice” and “Judges’ Choice” awards in the chili cook-off. Admission to the event is free, but for $7, you receive an “AllYou-Can-Eat” chili pass and a voting token to vote for your favorite chili. Each chili contestant will have a number that corresponds with containers on a separate voting table where the public can cast their vote. “We pull the judges from the crowd that day and let them do a blind taste test for the Judges’ Choice,” said Jesse Fischer, president of the park board. Both winners of the “People’s Choice” and the “Judges’ Choice” award will receive cash prizes. There will also be bratwurst, hot dogs, s’mores, and soft drinks
