Chilly Cook-Off is coming to support Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard

We have re-entered soup season, and that means Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard is preparing to turn up the heat at their annual “Chilly” Cook-Off. The Cook-Off will help launch Freezefest on the evening of Thursday, January 23 at Dimension Mill located at 642 N. Madison St.

This community-building, chili cook-off event offers several opportunities to feature your business, including sharing your team’s best chili with over 200 attendees!

Does one of your team members have a signature chili that draws crowds at team potlucks? Register their chili to see if they can earn the People’s Choice Award or catch the attention of a panel of judges and earn Best Overall, Best Vegetarian, or Most Creative recipes. Registration for chefs is free, but closes on Wednesday, Jan. 8 or when all spaces are filled.

Does your team want to help make this event possible and invest in community food security? Become an event sponsor! Minimum sponsorship is just $150, and event sponsors will receive 4 tickets for entry to the Cook-Off, their company name listed in event materials, their company logo on materials at the event and on the event website, and cross promotion on social media. Deadline for sponsorship is Dec. 13. 

Then join us at Chilly Cook-Off, where you’ll try 20 chilis, cast your vote for the People’s Choice Award for best chili, have a chance to enter the Some Like It Hot spicy chili-eating competition, and enjoy treats to cool the palate from Two Sticks and Chocolate Moose. Tickets are $20 for those ages 11 and older; children ages 10 and under enter free.
