Albertsons in Durango will host a benefit chili cook-off and silent auction for the family of Aaron Memro from noon to 6 p.m. Oct. 26 at The American Legion, 878 East Second Ave.
Memro recently died suddenly from acute myeloid leukemia. Memro was the father of seven children and stepchildren and grandfather of three. All proceeds from the cook-off will benefit the Memro family to offset costs of funeral expenses and medical costs.
The entry fee is $10 for chili submissions. There will be red and green chili category winners. The winner will take the pot and dinner for two at The Ore House.
Entrance to the cook-off is $10 at the door.
Those interested in contributing goods or services to the silent auction may email aaronemrochilicookoff@gmail.com.
