In 2005, we held our very first "Haunted Chili Cookoff!" as a part of the Haunted Hayrides in Brownsburg's Arbuckle Acres Park. We didn't know what to expect, but we hoped for a day of great food, good team cooking and a tasty finish to the day for area chili chompers. Since that time the event has grown each year. And each year, we've gotten a bigger tent!
Entrants are not only judged on their on-site cooked chili, but also on how well they decorate their booths and their teams. Independent Judges award prizes for the Best Traditional Chili, Best Non-Traditional Chili along with Best Decorated Booth. We also feature a People's Choice Award.
The Haunted Chili Cookoff has become another very special event of the Haunts of Hidden River Haunted Hayrides and certainly a new autumn tradition in Brownsburg.
