PICCA Chili Cook-Off was a success
While several chili recipes won accolades, it is underprivileged children in our community who are the ultimate winners of Pickaway County Community Action’s annual Chili Cook-Off in Circleville.
Several hundred people packed into Heritage Hall at the Pickaway County Fairgrounds on Friday, Nov. 15 to sample 22 competing chilies.
“The event was a huge success once again, thanks to the support of our community,” said PICCA Executive Director Becky Hammond. “The holiday season will be so much brighter for children and families in need.”

Original Chili: Quality Choice Title
Specialty Chili: Kingston National Bank
People’s Choice Chili: Community Title Network.
Quality Choice Title also won 1st Place for its Grinch-themed table decorations.
