Chili Cook Off Contestants -- What you need to know
THANK YOU for entering the Chili Cook Off!
We are excited to have your chili creation, and we will have great prizes for the winners!
- Please bring your chili already prepared in a crockpot or large stock pot. You can plug in your crockpot at the site or heat your pot on a grill/open flame available at the site.
- Remember to bring a ladle to serve your chili, pot holders, and a lid to keep it warm.
- You may want to double your typical recipe or more. The more chili you make, the more people that can taste it and vote for you!
- Chili tasting will begin promptly at 2 PM. Please arrive by 1pm to setup and ensure enough time to completely heat your chili.
- Bring your own decorations and a sign to advertise your chili. Be creative -- it’s part of the fun! You may want to include information such as:
- Your chili’s name / theme
- Is your chili mild, medium, hot, 5 alarm?
