Manchester is lucky enough to be hosting the World’s Championship Chili Cookoff again this year and we’ll be there serving deserts to help support our local city candidates in the November election. But we can’t do it alone! We need your help. There are several ways you can participate!

• Stop by our booth on Elm St., just outside the park entrance, and join us for a slice of pie after your chili tasting! All proceeds from sales will go towards our election efforts for this year’s municipal elections.

• Volunteer at our booth. We need volunteers to help us at the tents. Local candidates are encouraged to participate. This will be a great opportunity to meet and greet hundreds, if not thousands of local voters. Setup begins each day between 10-11am and we’ll have shifts throughout the day. If you can commit to a 2 hour shift on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, please email us at info@manchestergop.com.
• 2011 Chili Poll - After they’ve voted for their favorite chili, we’ll also have an opportunity for the 25,000+ attendees of the event to cast a ballot to vote for their favorite GOP candidate for president. Please stop by for your ballot to show your support for your presidential candidate.
• Local candidates, please email Jeff Frost (jeffreyfrost@comcast.net) to make sure we have your campaign materials on hand for the event!
• Tickets are not required to get to where our booth will be set up, so even if you are not a fan of chili, or you might be headed to the circus at the arena, please stop by and say hello!

This should be a great event for the city of Manchester and the Manchester Republican Committee. We look forward to seeing all of you the weekend of September 30 – October 2.
