Twelfth Annual Oktoberfest this weekend in Sullivan: October 17 and 18.

The tree leaves are turning a variety of beautiful shades and colors and the air has gotten cooler… It is that time of year again for warm comfort food, such as chili or instance, which has been a family favorite for years.

The chili will be steaming hot at Oktoberfest this weekend in downtown Sullivan. Five teams will be cooking up their best recipes for a chance to win the annual chili cook-off. Local celebrity judges who will taste the creations will be Jim Standerfer, Gaby Uphoff and Therese Kincade. The official judging begins at 4:30 p.m. Saturday and then opens to the public for the people’s choice at 5 p.m.

Not only will there be the scents of spices from chili lingering in the air, but there will also be about 15 other food vendors from which festival goers may choose. Some of those vendors are regulars from surrounding towns, while others will be making a first time appearance.

A sausage and pancake breakfast will be served 6-10 a.m. Saturday at the Sullivan Fire Department.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
