The Bay Minette Rotary Club and Heritage Junior Womens Club will again join forces to put on fundraisers that benefit the North Baldwin Coalition for Excellence in Education. The events will be held Feb. 20 at the Community Kids Park in Bay Minette.

The Bay Minette Rotary Club's second-annual Chilly Run will begin at 9 a.m. for the 5K run/race walk and 10 a.m. for the 1-mile fun run. The HJWC chili cook-off will take place 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Both organizations have selected NBCEE as its event beneficiary and proceeds from these two events will help fund teacher grants for the nine schools in the Baldwin County High School feeder pattern.

The cook-off will feature prizes for best overall chili, best non-chili chili, hottest chili, crowd favorite and others. Teams can be formed in clubs, organizations, businesses or among friends. Booths are $25 and entrants must provide at least four gallons of chili.

Admission tickets are $5 and will allow patrons the chance to sample chili made by the teams who have registered to participate. For questions, directions, or information please call Jodie Smith 610-4746 or Charebi Jones 709-0649. The deadline for entries is Feb. 15.

Race day registration for the Chilly Run is $20. T-shirts will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis. All participants will receive one ticket to the chili cook-off. Prizes will be awarded in first-, second- and third-place male and female for overall, race walk and by age groups. The top three male and female fun run winners will also receive awards.
