Warm up with us on Friday, January 26 as downtown St. Joe hosts a Chili Tour. Participating locations or "Chili Stops" will play host as you have the opportunity to try their best recipes.

CHILI TOUR MAP 
Chili Tour Maps will be available for purchase at the St. Joe Today Welcome Center (301 State Street) from 12:00p-7:45p on Friday, January 26. Maps will also be available for purchase at The Market (301 Main Street) from 5:00p-7:45p. It costs $5 per participant which includes a Chili Tour Map that doubles as a voting ballot.  A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Benton Harbor Soup Kitchen.
