2025 Chili Cookoff

Join the 2025 Chili Cookoff!

Nothing warms up a winter day quite like a steaming bowl of chili! Atkinson Congregational Church invites the community to join in the Chili Cookoff on Saturday, March 8, 2025, from 3-5 p.m. Whether you have a top-secret chili recipe to show off or just want to taste and judge the entries, this event promises great food, fun, and friendly competition.

 

How It Works:

  • Chili Chefs: Enter your best batch for just $5 per crock and compete for delicious prizes and ultimate bragging rights.
  • Tasters & Judges: Pay $5 to sample up to 10 chilis and cast your vote for the winners.

 

All are welcome—whether you’re cooking, tasting!

 

Prizes & Registration

  • Grand Prize: $50 gift card to Atkinson Country Club
  • Second Place: $25 gift card to The Prime Butcher in Hampstead, N.H.

 

Chili entries must be registered by Feb. 28, 2025. Sign up online or contact the church at office@atkinsoncc.org or 603-362-5519.

“This will be a heated event in the very best way,” said Pastor Jim Thomas. “Arrive hungry and ready for some gastronomical fun!”

 

Chili entrants may bring their entries to the church after 2 p.m. on March 8 along with any serving tools they may need.

 

All proceeds from this event will support Atkinson Congregational Church and its community programs. Don’t miss out—bring your best chili, your appetite, and your competitive spirit!
