     Walpole, NH— February 23, 2007 — The Walpole Village School invites local chefs and chili connoisseurs to participate in its first annual “3 Alarm Chili Cookoff” on Friday, March 9th  from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm.  The event will be held at the Walpole Village School building at 75 Westminster Street in  Walpole.   

    Chefs entering a batch of their favorite chili into the competition will have the opportunity to win a variety of prizes donated by local businesses including a new DVD player from Reel to Reel Video, a stainless lobster/chili pot from Fall Mountain Building Supply, a gift basket from L.
