🥖 Supporting dishes welcome

Not entering chili? Bring an appetizer, cornbread, chips, veggies, or dessert to share. Chili contestants can consider a side dish optional—you’ve already done the heavy stirring.
Let us know how many people are coming, whether you’re entering chili, and what side dish you’ll bring so we can plan for everyone.
We’ll supply bowls, spoons, and sampling cups. Help us keep disposable plastic to a minimum by bringing your reusable cup.

🪑 What to bring

  • Your chili entry or a dish to share
  • Your favorite beverages and a cooler
  • A lawn or camp chair
  • A reusable drinking cup—water will be provided
  • A hearty appetite and your best dive stories!
