Sponsorship benefits include a free Chili booth, tickets to the event, and even providing a Chili Cook-off Judge!
Competition:
Anyone is welcome to put together a Chili Cook-off team. Chili booth fee is $100. Free for non-profits! Teams will compete in the Cook-off and table display competition which will be scored by guest judges and members of our Board of Directors. Please plan to dress and decorate in the year's theme. The winner of the People's Choice category will take home our traveling trophy. One large full roaster pan of chili is needed for serving. Preparation of chili is required to be done in a licensed kitchen.
