Cold Weather, Hot Chili

The Winter Bowl Soup & Chili Cook-Off is happening in downtown East Lansing Sunday, Dec. 6 from 1 to 4 p.m.

Downtown stores and merchants will have treats and activities for visitors, but there are also plenty of things going on outside.

A heated tent will host the soup and chili cook-off, a judged event with winners to be announced at 4 p.m. Sample and vote for your favorite or head for the marshmallow roast to help you stay warm. Purchase Starbucks hot chocolate for 50 cents or traditional roasted chestnuts, also available for half a dollar.

Santa, Mrs. Claus and the reindeer will be attending, and visitors can take a tour of downtown East Lansing in a horse and carriage ride.

Besides live music in the Marriott lobby, roaming carolers will help set the festive mood.

This event and parking is free. For more info, visit the City of East Lansing's Web site here.
