Over 20 entrants will be competing for the various awards offered by the cook-off.

The LRC has special thanks to Okemo Mountain Resort, William Raveis Vermont Properties, Black River Produce, Wilcox Dairy, and Ludlow’s Shaw Supermarket for their contributions to making this event happen.
Cash prizes will be awarded in the “People’s Choice” category. Awards also will be given to the chili entry with the most voted in the “Judges’ Choice”, “Spiciest”, and “Team Spirit” categories. Plaques and three cash prizes will be awarded in the “People’s Choice” category.
1st Place will receive $200.00
