Carmel fire stations compete in Festival of Ice chili cook-off
Summary
At the Festival of Ice in Carmel, six local fire stations entered a chili cook-off that drew an early crowd and showcased a variety of chili styles; Station 44's Micah returned with a repeat-winning recipe, organizers said.
An announcer at the Festival of Ice in Carmel described a chili cook-off featuring six local fire stations, which drew a steady, early crowd as carvers worked on ice sculptures.
The event announcer said, "We're out here at the Festival of Ice. What a great event," and noted that the six stations compete each year for the chili cup trophy. The announcer also described the field of entries: "A lot of different strategies with this chili. We've got some that are chicken. We've got some that are savory. Some that are sweet. But they're all warm in this cold weather." The announcer added, "Micah with Station 44 is going for a 4 feet, bringing the same chili back and he keeps winning."
Micah, a firefighter with Station 44, was identified in the announcement as returning with the same chili that had won previous contests. Event organizers and the announcer framed the competition as a community tradition that also helps keep attendees warm during the outdoor festival. The announcer said many people arrived early and were "mowing down on some chili," and that the trophy presentation was expected later in the event.
Details such as the exact date and the final winner were not specified in the recorded excerpt. The announcement focused on the cook-off atmosphere, the variety of entries (including chicken, savory and sweet styles), and the participation of six Carmel fire stations.
