Hillsboro is hoping to spice up its fall block party Sept. 20 with a chili cook-off.

Individuals, groups, and businesses will provide free samples and may offer larger bowls for sale.

Hillsboro Chamber of Commerce will provide 2-ounce sample cups. Contestants must provide larger bowls and spoons if they plan to sell chili.

More than 400 people are expected.

The chamber office has begun accepting registrations from contestants. More information is available at (620) 947-3506.
