TEMPLETON — The Templeton Historical Museum Society will hold its annual fundraising event, “Some like it Hot,” on Saturday, March 14, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 309 S. Main St., Templeton.

The event features a Ranch Branding honoring local cattle ranchers, a chili competition showcasing the best home cooks in the area, and a vintage silent auction, with food and libations provided by the Templeton Mercantile’s Club Car Bar.

Guests can burn their own ranch brand to leave a mark on Templeton history — $25 per character for those without an existing brand. Chili tastings are $1 per sample, and participants can compete or simply enjoy the flavors.
