The Linn County Blues Society and The Isle of Iowa Parrothead Club have sponsored the annual Blues ‘n’ Buffett Chili Challenge since 2001!
The Chili Challenge is a friendly competition between two non-profit clubs that has quickly become a premiere fund raiser for each to raise money for local charities.
This year’s proceeds will benefit the H.D. Youth Center and the Eastern Iowa Arts Academy
The event has raised over $100,000 since 2001 and continues to grow every year!
