8th Annual Collin County Chili Fest – Get Your Pots a’going!

Posted on 01/19/2012 by collinclover

Get your ovens mitts on and your chili pots warmed up.  It is time for the 8th Annual Collin County Chili Cook-off and 4-H Fund Raiser and the 1st annual Cake Contest!

The Collin County Chili Cook-off is a time where the county 4-Hers and 4-H families can come together to meet, to socialize and to take home the prize for the best chili around!

Who can enter?  Anyone and everyone.  We want lots and lots of chili so we can find the best in the county.  The Chili can be entered into one of five categories, Hot-to-Trot (spicy chili), Greasy Spoon (name says it all),Way Out and Wild Chili (something unique), Texas Chili (no beans allowed here), and Faux Chili (such as chicken chili).  The 1st place winners will compete for the best overall for the title of:

Collin County’s Best Chili

 

After the judging is complete, everyone can join in and have a taste of Collin County.  For those who do not eat chili, there will be hotdogs and all the fixings.

 4-H Cake/Cupcake Contest!!!

Along with our Chili Cook-off this year, we will be having a cake contest and auction.  Bring a cake, decorated by you, and enter it in our contest.  After the votes are tallied and the winners announced, we will auction the cakes/cupcakes off to the highest bidder.  The Cake Contest will be divided into three categories (best decorated, best tasting and best overall) with three age groups: juniors (age 13 and under), seniors (14-19) and adults (you know who you are!)
