The Arlington County Democratic Committee's Joint Campaign got a jump on campaign season with its annual chili cook-off, held Labor Day at Lyon Village Community Center.

Teams representing Democratic candidates on the ballot were vying for bragging rights for best chili.

The annual event, which also included music and other food, was a precursor to the Arlington County Civic Federation's annual candidate forum, traditionally held the day after Labor Day. Democratic candidates and those from other parties willl take part in the forum.
