MARQUETTE, Mich. — Northern Michigan University will hold its fourth annual Memorial Chili Challenge from 3-5:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 25, at the Jacobetti Complex. The tasting on the day of the event will include unlimited chili samples, corn bread and chili-inspired desserts. It will cost $5 for students and $7 for the general public.
