If you're sick of leftover turkey, why not have chili for lunch? Or chowder?

The East Niagara Chili/Chowder Cookoff will be held from 1-4 p.m. at the Second Presbyterian Church on Van Buren Street aims to raise funds for the annual Peanut Butter & Jelly Drive.

Five eateries have signed on for the event -- Lock 34, Cream & Sugar Cafe, Candle Nook Cafe, Tom's Diner, and the Pleasant Valley Tavern. They're joined by five individuals, each sharing their own take on the area's perfect chili or chowder in hopes of being awarded the title "East Niagara's Best Chili" (or chowder)

Participants are donating their product, which will be "sold" to hungry customers for $1 -- or a jar of peanut butter, jelly or marshmallow fluff -- per cup. Proceeds will go the 6th Annual Peanut Butter & Jelly Drive.

In addition to the chili and chowder, there will be baked good for sale during the event.
