Calling all Chili Enthusiasts!
Whether you enjoy making chili or eating it, join us on Sunday, February 1st from 4:30–6:30pm for our 9th Annual Chili Cook-Off! It’s a fun, cozy winter event—perfect for warming up, sharing good food, and connecting with each other. Plus, you get to help crown our 2026 Chili Cook-Off Champion.
Want to Cook?
If you were sad about missing out to be a chili cook and the shot at the championship — you now have another chance! Underdog moment! (Cue Crowd Cheering)
We’re looking for chili makers of all kinds—no expertise required! Maybe you’ve got a family recipe, or maybe you’ll find one online the day of (past winners have!). All chili’s must come in a slow cooker. If you need to borrow one, contact Cindy at eventsteam@westheights.org. Sign up by Wednesday January 28th using this form.
Want to Weigh In?
Everyone is invited to taste, enjoy, judge and vote—kids, adults, eaters of all taste buds and comfort level – all are welcome. Even the cooks get to be judges!
Come for free food, easy conversation starters (we all have thoughts to share about chili), and a memorable night of connecting. We’ll also have table games for those who prefer to mingle that way.
Event Set Up Appreciated!
If you’re free to help set-up, please come at 3:00pm. You can connect with Cindy.
