The Meadville-Western Crawford County Chamber of Commerce will hold its Chili Chowder & Soup Cookoff this year but with a few twists. Due to the pandemic, the “hottest” event of the spring has been revamped. This year, the public is invited to purchase a “passport” which allows them to travel (crawl) throughout the month of April to each of seventeen participating restaurants to enjoy one cup of chili, chowder or soup from each of their respective menus. Check the website for details.  http://www.meadvillechamber.com/events/details/chili-chowder-soup-crawl-6177
