Great Chili Cook-Off

From Great Chili Cook-Off Website:

Taste more chili than ever before, wash it down with some cold Budweiser or a chilled glass of wine and rock out to the live music of an incredible band.

Take in the food and craft vendors, hang out with your kids in the HUGE Inflatables Kids Zone and enjoy a fun-filled time at the 6th Annual Great Chili Cook-Off.

Come early if chili is your draw -- when the chili is gone, it's gone, but the band rocks on with vendors and a HUGE Kids Zone to keep everyone entertained way past dark.

If you're coming for the chili, don't just taste it -- pick your favorite and vote it into the running for the "People's Choice" award. Cookers covet the Peoples Choice award just as much as the Judges' Choice so your vote could be an important tiebreaker!

As for the official contest, judges will scrutinize every chili in a blind tasting and make their selections based on taste, texture and seasonings. It is a hard-fought competition with First prize in the Home Town Cooker category taking home $1,000, $350 for second prize and $150 for third. Custom hardwood cutting boards with an engraved inscription are presented to the winners for Home Town Cooker, People's Choice and the Best Restaurant Chili.
