WMSE’s Rockabilly Chili Fundraiser will return to Kern Center April 7

It may feel like winter will never end, but—believe it or not—spring is right around the corner. Need proof? Behold the annual announcement of WMSE’s Rockabilly Chili Fundraiser! The springtime shindig will return to the Milwaukee School of Engineering’s Kern Center (1245 N. Broadway) on Sunday, April 7. Doors open at 11 a.m.

The 22nd installment of the wildly popular and delicious event will feature more than 40 restaurants competing in a variety of chili categories: best meat, best veggie, best heat, most unique, and “hottest display.” And yes, there will be a new hot sauce to go along with the event: Formula917, developed exclusively for WMSE by A&M Provisions.
