​Red Gold Chili Cook-off & Rush to Crush Hunger

Coming October 23, 2021

The annual Red Gold Chili Cook-Off is typically held the second or third Saturday of October in historic downtown Elwood. The event is co-sponsored by Red Gold and the Elwood Chamber of Commerce and features the unique chili recipes of competing teams of chili chefs, ranging in tastes from sweet-and-mild to hot-and-spicy. Each team of chili cooks receives complimentary Red Gold products for use in their recipe, and the teams compete for cash prizes provided by Red Gold.

While waiting for the chili to cook and go on sale, visitors can shop for arts and crafts, fall products, homemade goodies, and much more. Entertainment is provided throughout the day.

The event is held around the fountain area of the Elwood Municipal Building located at South B & Anderson streets. Booths open at 9:00 a.m. with chili tasting begins at 11:30 a.m.

Applications are downloadable by clicking the link below. They also are available at the Elwood Chamber of Commerce at 108 South Anderson Street or by calling the Chamber at (765) 552-0180.
