Featuring lots of chili and country music, plus fun for the whole family, Camarillo Hospice will present its 4th Annual Country Music Festival and Chili Cook Off on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 3rd, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Camarillo Ranch and Macaroni Kid Camarillo-Oxnard-Ventura will be there. Last year we had an amazing time at this event and it's all for a great cause, as it is a major fundraiser for the Camarillo Hospice.
If you have a great salsa or chili recipe, then this is a really fun event to enter your favorite recipes in. The event is open to the public. General admission is $10 per person, with children under 12 are free. Food and drinks, including beer and wine, will be on sale. Plus you can try all the different chili recipes from all over the county.
