the 17th annual New Mexico Chili Cook-off's and Belen Fiestas!

What an amazing time we had at the 17th annual New Mexico Chili Cook-off's and Belen Fiestas! Our Barstow city council members and Mayor made sure to attend this fantastic event and express their gratitude to the community for coming out. We were also thrilled to have California State Treasurer Fiona Ma in attendance, who presented a certificate of recognition to the chili cook-off organizers. A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support this incredible event and celebrate the love of chili and community.

Congratulations

to all the talented chili chefs who participated and made the event a huge success! #NewMexicoChiliCookOff #BelenFiestas #BarstowPride #CityOfBarstow #Community
