Plant City residents spiced things up Saturday, Jan. 10, at the Arts Council of Plant City’s 2016 Chili Cook Off, held at the Robert W. Willaford Train Museum.
Chili chefs dolled out samples of their favorite concoctions to residents, who then voted on their favorite dish. Dance Connection also performed.
