The Fulton VFW's upcoming fundraiser is as American as apple pie - or a spicy bowl of chili.
The VFW men's and women's auxiliaries are hosting their annual chili and pie cook-off, beginning noon Saturday, Feb. 2 at the VFW.
Event coordinator Ashley Gannaway of the ladies auxiliary said she has been helping with the cook-off since 2008.
"It's something that the VFW wanted to try and do and basically give the community something else to do for fun," said Gannaway. "It helps the veterans and our VFW; it's been a success every year and it brings a bunch of people out in the community together and supports our veterans."
