      Firefighter Chili Cook Off



        The Retired Firefighters of Palm Beach County hosted
      their Firefighter Chili Cook Off on Saturday, Feb. 5 at

      and organizations. It was the responsibility of the celebrity
      judges to finally determine the “best” chili and “theme”
      booths. This event was a huge success and Abacoa proved
      to be the perfect secure venue to gather the family for cold
      drinks, hot chili, and live music.
