We are seeking chili competitors in a lay contest. There is no fee and this is not a sanctioned chili contest. You just need to be an awesome cook/chef and willing to make a few gallons of chili to share with festival goers on Sunday, September 14 from 12-6. Email bWVsaXNzYSB8IGZhaXJnYW1lYmV2ZXJhZ2UgISBjb20= with interest.

We also seek pop-up vendors who have pepper-related products and specifically a pepper-condiment they would like to enter into a competition.
