Here’s a recipe: Take an all-star lineup of political thinkers, add tables loaded with pots of chili and season with sparkling conversation.
The result? The Archuleta County Democratic Party’s annual Chili Supper.
The festivities will begin at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 4, at the Archuleta County Colorado State University Extension building at 344 U.S. 84 — at the county fairgrounds.
Political luminaries including State Rep. Katie Stewart, congressional candidate Alex Kelloff and state party chair Shad Murib will speak via video.
The program will begin with a color guard and include an overview of Democrats’ work in the county over the past year. There will be door prizes.
The menu includes several varieties of chili and toppings, salad, cornbread and dessert. The suggested donation for entry is $15 per person; $5 per wine, beer or mocktail; and $10 for cocktails. Water, soft drinks and coffee will be free.
Guests can register online at https://form.jotform.com/242206070421138 and pay in advance. Payment also will be taken at the door.
The Chili Supper isn’t just for Democrats; unaffiliated voters and like-minded Republicans are welcome. All proceeds benefit the Archuleta County Democratic Party.
