Feel The Burn

The 5th Annual Meanest Green Chili Cook-off & Sizzlin’ Jazz Benefit Concert is an attempt to prove that you can fight fire with fire. The beneficiaries of this year’s event — sponsored by the Hatch Foundation in conjunction with Services for Artists — will be victims of the Four Mile Canyon fire who fell through the cracks. “A lot of artists and musicians who live up there are month-to-month and did not qualify for insurance claims or certain grants designated to homeowners,” explains co-coordinator Jessica Sellars. “Somebody has to stand up and make things happen. There are still people living up there in tents.”
