Downtown Huntington Beach BID Organization Presents Father's Day Weekend

Chili At The Beach Benefiting CHOC

Huntington Beach, CA—The Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District Organization (BID) Surf City Chili at the Beach event will occur on Saturday, June 14 and Sunday, June 15, 2008. The event will begin at 11 a.m. both days, and close at 7 p.m. on Saturday, 6 p.m. on Sunday. Entry to the event is free, while a ticket that allows the buyer to sample and judge all the chili costs $10.

There will also be raffle tickets on sale. A portion of the event proceeds will benefit Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC).

Main Street will be closed to traffic for the event, with business exhibits, food, and entertainers in the three- block closure. There will be children's activities including inflatables, a climbing wall, a jousting display and more!

On Saturday, there will be a chili cook-off. Ten participants are donating ten gallons of chili to the event, and will compete in several different categories—Best Tasting Overall, Most Creative Name of Chili and Most Enthusiastic Booth. Purchase of a ticket provides the buyer with a ballot to rate each chili. Winners will be announced on Sunday, June 15, alongside a variety of Father's Day specials—some just for dad—at businesses downtown.

After the winners of the Chili Cook-off are announced on Sunday, the event will culminate with a check presentation from proceeds awarded to a representative of CHOC.
