Question: What do chili, hunky firefighter calendars, and the fiery 1977 plane crash of Lynyrd Skynyrd have in common? Answer: All three are shown great reverence at the 11th Annual Firefighter and Paramedics Chili Cook-Off. See, true Skynyrd fans (heres where you scream Skeeenarrd!) know that Saturday marks the 30 year anniversary of the southern rock groups demise leaving an absence in all of us that can only be filled with large quantities of chili
and hunky firefighters. So the powers-that-be have decided to dedicate the festivals musical portion to Lynyrd Skynyrd (Shout it: Skeeenarrd!), while raising funds for charity. Stay all day and enjoy live music by the Skynyrd (you know what to do) tribute act Nuthin Fancy, along with three other tribute groups: The Allmost Brothers, The Fabulous Fleetwoods, and of course, ZZ Not.
