Red Gold Chili Cook-off & Rush to Crush Hunger
The annual Red Gold Chili Cook-Off is typically held the second 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.
