2017 Chili Cook-off!!

We are less than 3 weeks away from Emmanuel Presbyterian’s Second Annual Chili Cook-off & Pie Contest. Come celebrate God’s abundant goodness to us! Maybe you’re a chili-making specialist, like Pastor Ward, or maybe you’re just getting started in your baking career, like 8 yr old Betsy Connell, last year’s pie-baking winner. Either way, we have something for you.

Details

We’ll meet at Elizabeth Milburn park from 2:30-dark for chili, pie and a lot of fun, including Games, a Moonwalk for the kids, and a Magic Show. To enter the contest go here.

Judging

Last year, we had several participants in both the Chili Cook-Off and the Pie Bake-Off, and we asked some celebrity judges to decide the contest. This year we’re planning to decide our chili and pie winners based on the “People’s Choice”. Every person who comes to the event will receive 2 tickets to cast a vote for their favorite pie and favorite chili. After we eat, we’ll tally the ticket boxes to determine the winner. Not only can you participate in the cook-off or bake-off, but you will have a voice in determining the winner, and every vote counts! If there is a tie, we may recruit a celebrity judge for a final decision.

Entertainment

Thank’s to JD Stewart (The Magic Dude) for agreeing to emcee our event again this year. We’ll have fun Competition Games through out the afternoon to watch and play. They are “Minute To Win It” style games, based on the TV show of the same name. You can watch it here, and see sample instructions here. Every attendee will receive a blue or red wristband and will be added to a “team”. Teams (Blue & Red) will compete for prizes! The games are simple and fun. How simple? So simple even a bike riding LSU fan can play them.

We will also have  a special guest appearance by the Amazing Sammy Wise (aka Samantha Ward.) She will read your mind while she has you in stitches. Last year the Magic Dude turned Pastor Ward into an instant magician. This year he promises another surprise event.

We look forward to a wonderful afternoon of food and fellowship with all. See you soon!
