MIDDLEBURY — The Vermont Chili Festival last Saturday afternoon generated the largest turnout in the annual event's four-year history, drawing a crowd that organizers estimate to be as large as 5,000 to downtown Middlebury (click here to read the story).
From old friends enjoying a range of chilis to pigs on leashes to a cappella singers over Otter Creek falls, our staff had fun trying to capture the excitement — and, of course, eating chili. For your enjoyment, we've organized a meddley of our favorite photos from last Saturday. Please see the slideshow below.
