Attorney Terry Hiestand and his wife Anne took their granddaughter Elizabeth Lawson to 1st Annual Tailgate Party sponsored by the Chesterton/Duneland Chamber of Commerce in honor of the Chesterton High School Homecoming on October 2, 2009.  The party was held in the Chamber parking lot Friday afternoon in connection with the Homecoming Parade.  As part of the tailgate party, local restaurants competed in the Chamber Chili Challenge.  Although the weather was overcast and rainy, the event was well attended by chili aficionados who lined up to taste the recipes of several local restaurants, businesses and organizations.
