Competitors from a variety of states are set up on the historic courthouse lawn for this weekend's Tennessee Chili 3-Star Championship, made up of three separate cookoffs. There will be International Chili Society-sanctioned cookoffs today and Saturday, with several different categories, as well as a CASI chili cookoff in the traditional red category on Saturday. The cookoff will feature a "people's choice" category allowing casual visitors to purchase a tasting kit so that they can try various entries and cast a vote for their favorite. People's Choice tasting runs from 4-6:30 p.m. today and 12-3 p.m. on Saturday.

There will also be a car show and vendors on the square on Saturday; tonight will be the latest free concert in the Fly Arts Center's free Levitt AMP music series. The concert, featuring DJ Giovanni, runs from 6-8 p.m. and has been moved indoors at The Fly due to weather.
