On Saturday January 28, 2023 the Millville Volunteer Fire Company held its 2^nd Annual Chili Cook-Off.  This year’s event was very well attended with 500 tickets sold.  The event was held at the newly renovated Millville Fire Station #1 on Atlantic Avenue in Millville, Delaware.

The Winners on the 2^nd Annual Chili Cook-Off are as follows:

Our most prestigious award, the PEOPLES CHOICE AWARD was won by Bethany Blues.

This year we issued a challenge to our area fire companies to participate in our “FIRE STATION THROW DOWN” to vie for the title of the best fire company chili in the area.  This year’s participants were Bethany Beach VFC, Millville VFC and the Roxana VFC.  And the winner is …………Millville Volunteer Fire Company.

The MVFC would like to thank all the Chili Cook-Off participants that spend untold hours preparing and serving their chili, all the chili was delicious!  In addition, the MVFC would like to thank everyone that attended this year, your support overwhelming and very much appreciated.  Proceeds from this event go toward our Capital Campaign that is now in its 2^nd year.

We would also like to recognize the Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce, MVFC membership, auxiliary, fire police, administrative and career staff and everyone else that helped planned, prepared and worked this event to make this it a huge success.

A special thank you goes out to Honorary Member George H. Bunting Jr., State Farm Insurance for the donation of our Firetruck Ice Sculpture this year, it was amazing and very “cool”!

Hope to see everyone back next year!
