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.
THANK YOU TO OUR CELEBRITY JUDGES!
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.
Think you cook great chili? PROVE IT!
