The Rotary Club of Hamlin hosted a “Buck Pole” in conjunction with their returning Chili Cook-Off event at R Place on 590.
The hunter who harvested the heaviest buck took home a grand prize of $300. The maker of the winning chili recipe took home a $100 prize.
Club members hoped to attract hunters coming in from the cold.
"Just to have fun, that was the basis of today's event. We know hunters are out there freezing their hineys off doing the fun stuff. We thought we'd give back to the community with a little band and a little chili cook-off to help them when they come in and hopefully bring their deer in," said Tatiana Black, one of the organizers of the event.
The club had a great time hosting the event & there was an excellent turn out. Thank you to all who attended and to the following sponsors:
