This fall, SPARK leaders are taking Friends & Flannel up a notch. On Saturday, Nov. 8, from 2–5 p.m. at The Little Green Park, they’ll kick off the afternoon with a tailgate party and Baseline’s first ever Chili Cook-Off and Cookie Bake-Off.
Bring your best chili (all types welcome) or killer cookie to compete for prizes and the titles of Baseline’s “Spiciest Resident” and “Dough-minator.”
Not competing? No problem — come cheer on your neighbors, sample the creations and cast your vote for your favorites.
Here’s the secret ingredient: this isn’t just about food. It’s a chance to discover Baseline’s clubs. Two of them will grill up complimentary hot dogs — Fantasy Ballers and Beer Buddies — while more clubs go head-to-head in the chili contest. Come connect with neighbors who share your interests. Join an existing club. Or, find out how to start a new one.
Food, friendly competition and connection — they are all the ingredients for a good time.
