Another Amazing Atlanta REALTORS® Chili Cook-Off!
August 13, 2020
The 2019 Chili Cook Off was one of the best nights ever for this event. The Atlanta REALTORS® event raised over $20,000 (and counting) with proceeds benefiting the RPAC Political Advocacy Fund. 30 teams signed up for what turned out to be an amazing night of all the chili you could eat, complimentary beer and wine, entertainment and great networking opportunities.
Competition was very tough this year, but with the help of our judges, the winners were announced. Congratulations to Arrow Exterminators for winning "Best Chili", which was judged by the Sandy Springs Fire Department. "Best Booth" went to Cook and James, LLC (again) with their “Closing Dead” themed booth. The "People's Choice Award" went to Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International for getting the most RPAC investments.
The Chili Cook-off is always the perfect opportunity to interact with vendors, get to know other REALTORS® and offers a great team building opportunity for your offices. Most of all, proceeds go towards protecting private property rights.
Thank you to all of the teams who participated and made this one of the best Chili Cook-offs to date. A special thank you also goes to Sandy Springs Fire Department for being our guest judges. Also, thank you to Cherry Street Brewery for being our beer partner and bringing some awesome beer. Lastly, a big thanks goes out to our "secret panel of judges" that decided best booth...you know who you are!
