2016 sertoma Chili Winners
With temperatures nearing 70 degrees, it didn't feel like chili weather on Saturday, but more than 8,000 people still attended the 35th Annual Sertoma Chili Cook-Off at the Springfield Expo Center.
In addition to filling bellies, the event also raised more than $125,000 for Boys and Girls Club of Springfield, according to a news release from the chili cook-off organizers.
