Cleveland Officers Fire Up the Competition at Chili Cook-Off

Officers Calhoun and Petkac preparing five gallons of chili for the Hermes Road Racing Chili Cook Off

Officer Calhoun has been a strong contender in the annual Hermes Road Racing Chili Cook-Off, winning first place twice in past years. This year, he teamed up with Officer Petkac, and together they set out to compete against a tough lineup—including Cleveland Fire! 🏆

To prepare for the big event, the officers cooked up five gallons of chili, with a special thanks to Father Previte from Holy Rosary Catholic Church for generously donating his kitchen space. 🌶️

With plenty of experience and confidence, Officers Calhoun and Petkac were ready to bring the heat. Stay tuned to see how they fared in the competition!
