The chili cook-off, administered by Glen Lake Schools, begins at noon on the deck at Boondocks. Entrants will compete to earn chili bragging rights. First through fifth place winners, as determined by popular vote, receive a plaque commemorating the chili cook-off. Get there early for a seat inside Boonedocks. Dress warm and join us out on the deck for a winter-time party. Plenty of heaters, drinks, music, family, friends and chili will keep you warm. Entry fee is $25 per chili. Winners will be crowned as the event wraps up around 3pm. Download your chili cook-off entry form here.
