The Chili Cook-Off is your chance to share a great bowl of chili, show off your team’s personality and enjoy an evening of friendly competition! This year, we’re bringing the fun to a NEW and inviting location in Burlington Northern Park, giving everyone plenty of room to gather while keeping us away from potential late-season construction conflicts.
The Chamber will provide sample bowls and spoons so every contestant serves consistent portions ... and your team doesn’t run out of chili quite so quickly!
Each team will need to provide:
· One 18-quart roaster filled with chili
· A complete list of chili ingredients to display on your table
· Napkins
· Crackers, cheese or any other condiments you would like to offer
· One 6-foot serving table
· Extension cords
· Booth advertising, such as a banner or sign
· $20 entry fee
Entry Fee:
Make checks payable to the Wadena Area Chamber of Commerce.
Payment may be:
· Dropped off at the Chamber office in The Depot
· Mailed to Wadena Area Chamber, PO Box 107, Wadena, MN 56482
