Hand In Hand's Annual Chili Cook-off is looking for chili teams who wish to complete for the title of Best Chili In The Quad Cities. Both restaurants, area businesses and individuals with their own great chili will participate in this event every year. If you think you make amazing chili, come and compete with the best in our community during this fun afternoon of chili tasting. The Hand In Hand Chili Cook-off will take place on Saturday January 25, 2014 from 2:30 -7:00 PM at the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds.
There are several chili judging categories including: Judges Choice (celebrity judges) and People's Choice (selected by ballot) for best individual and for best restaurant chili. Last year over 12,000 chili samples were served by 21 teams to 1,350 participants. Teams must bring 10 gallons of their fantastic chili. Prizes, plaques and bragging rights are all available.

This event benefits Hand In Hand programs for children and young adults, including those with disabilities and their families.
