The contest will take place during A Day of Harvest in downtown Greenville on Saturday, September 27th. The Chili Cook-Off (sampling and voting) will begin at 10:30 am. Chilli will be judged by the crowd of people who visit downtown Greenville during A Day of Harvest events. The winner will be announced at 12:45 pm at the Communal Table at the Downtown Greenville Farmers’ Market, in front of the Darke County Courthouse.
The best overall chili will win a $25 cash prize and $50 gift certificate from Youniques Boutique and a $25 gift certificate to The Meat Shop. Prizes have been sponsored by Youniques Boutique and The Meat Shop.
Entries are open to the public, but contestants must pre-register to enter the contest. There is no entry fee, but there is a limit of 2 chili entries per person. Contestants must supply a 4-quart crockpot of each chili entry and they must be available to serve samples of their chili to A Day of Harvest crowd and Downtown Greenville Farmers’ Market goers, those of which will judge the chili and choose the winner.
“The Chili Cook-Off is fun for those who make the chili and those who sample it for judging. Last year, we had many families take the time to test each chili sample as a group. The kids enjoyed being involved in the family’s voting process.”, says Amber Garrett, Executive Director of Main Street Greenville. “It also encourages the crowd to stroll from store to store during the day’s events.”
The deadline to register is Thursday, September 25th at noon. Registration forms can be dropped off at the Communal Table at the Farmers’ Market, mailed to Main Street Greenville (421 S. Broadway Greenville, OH 45331), faxed to 937-548-2385, or emailed to agarrett@mainstreetgreenville.org.
