To enter, you must register by 4:00 pm on Feb. 25, 2014 along with paying a $20 fee. Your registration fee covers your chili entry and two tickets - one for you and one for a guest.....
You can read the many rules and guidelines when you register, but here are a few to give you a heads-up:
- Judges will begin judging at 4:30pm. Your table & chili must be ready by then. Judging must be completed no later than 6:30pm.
- Judges will have on nametags so you will know who they are.
- The event opens to the public at 5:00pm.
- Cookers may check-in as early as 3:00pm and NO LATER than 4:00pm.
- If a Judge comes to your table and you are not ready to provide a sample, you will be given a score of zero. {{HARSH!}}
- Chili should be prepared prior to check-in at the Ellison building on the State Fairgrounds
- Please prepare a minimum of 8 quarts of chili to ensure all guests can sample all entries
If you want to attend, but don't want to make chili, the entry fee is $30. Purchase your tickets online or by email at akinard@historiccolumbia.org. Members have a discount price. All tickets will be $30 at the door.
