Do you think you have a winning recipe for chili? Do you like to have lots of fun no matter what the weather brings? Then mark your calendar to come under our tents to compete for the coveted bragging rights for the “People’s Choice Award” and the “Best in Show Booth”.

If cooking isn’t your forte, but you like chili, then come on out for a good time and help us decide the winner. It’s all for fun and entertainment so don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy great competition.

Cooking begins under the tents at 12:00 noon and the “professional” judges will rate the “Best in Show” winning booth at 4:30. At 5 pm everyone can start tasting chili and placing “People’s Choice” votes for the best chili in the professional and amateur categories. The booth award by the “professional” judges will be announced with the “People’s Choice” at 8:00 pm.

Come enjoy an evening of fun under the tents where it is warm and smells delicious. Everyone is welcome to participate & attend! Watch the website for further events that will take place at the 5th Annual Cook-Off. Entry forms coming soon so please keep checking back!
