News Chili Cook-Off fundraiser a success in Berkeley Park
Posted by Tammy Vinson on Mon, Apr 23, 2007 at 4:12 PM
Berkeley Park's neighborhood slogan, "Putting the 'Unity' Back Into Community," was proven true at yesterday's first Chili Cook-Off. It was a pleasant afternoon in the northwest Atlanta neighborhood with a good-old Fourth-of-July feeling -- hamburgers, hot dogs, children playing and lots of people enjoying each other's company. Live music was provided by Drivin' Possum, the Biggie Rats, and Kimberly Morgan and Brad Morgan of the Drive-By Truckers.
In addition, there was a raffle drawing with a great selection of door prizes including gift certificates to the new Six Feet Under on Northside Drive, Rising Roll Sandwich Company, Little Azio Pizza and Pasta and several other local businesses.
All proceeds of the Chili Cook-Off went to Berkeley Park's park fund to build a neighborhood playground. The event helped raise about $1,600 for the playground fund. After attending such a successful event in my own neighborhood, I can definitely say I am proud to be a neighbor in the Berkeley Park community.
