The following information will be used to create a program for the Chili Cook-off attendees (excluding contact information). Since the People’s Choice (chili with the most votes from the general attendees) will be the overall winner of the Cook-off, receiving both the $100 cash prize and bragging rights, feel free to give yourself character to attract interest. The name of your chili, as well as any back story to its origins or creation will help give this competition extra “flavor.”
Entrants are responsible for providing 2 gallons (8 quarts) of chili for tasting. The chili must be made ahead of time. Entrants are asked to provide crockpots and/or warming devices to serve their chili in. If the cook does not have an appropriate warming dish, then the Ladies’ Auxiliary will supply a warming chafer. These quantities are limited. The committee will do their best to coordinate with the chili cooks to accommodate the needs of the entrants.
