1st Annual Ghost Pepper Pizza Challenge planned

The Tioga County Open Door Mission and The Red Door Thrift Store and Community Center are “all fired up” about opening a new Senior Food Pantry, which will also offer outreach services in Waverly, N.Y. and they need your help to raise funds.

You can become a contestant in the 1st Annual Ghost Pepper Pizza Challenge at the Rail House Restaurant and Taproom on Broad Street in Waverly on Saturday, May 30. Festivities will begin at 3 p.m.

To enter, you must raise $100 by May 15 and complete an official entry form.  Don’t waste any time, pick up a contestant information packet at the Open Door Mission located at 425 North Ave. in Owego or at The Red Door, located at 359 Broad St. in Waverly.

They encourage participants to seek local sponsors, enlist fans, and spread the hype. The winner of the challenge will receive $200, a commemorative t-shirt, recovery basket, bragging rights, and their name on a trophy that will be displayed at the Rail House Taproom all year long.

The individual who raises the most money overall will go home with a $50 gift certificate for dinner at the Rail House and a commemorative t-shirt.
