Guidelines
Each chili entry must be hot, fully cooked, & delivered in a crockpot, ready to serve. Please bring a serving utensil.
Each dessert entry will be served by the spoonful or in divided pieces.
Chilis will only be entered into one category, and desserts will also be limited to entry into one category.
Each chili entry will be assigned a number, which will be used to label the crockpot & the accompanying serving utensil. Each dessert entry will be assigned a letter, which will be used to label any serving dishes. Please note that there is no refrigeration on site; desserts must be served at room temperature.
Ingredient List Required, please
Each entry must also be accompanied by an 8.5 x 11” list of ingredients. This is for the safety of attendees who may need to check for allergens or other dietary restrictions.
