Official chili sampling will be from NOON until 3pm (or supplies last) on Saturday, November 16th. Samplers will pay $5 to sample chili and will have the opportunity to vote for their top 3. The Midway Business Association (MBA) will provide each taster a spoon, cup and napkins. Each taster will vote for their top three chilis.

All contestants must check-in at City Hall. Please set-up by 11:45am and ready to serve at 12:00pm sharp. Contestants will have assigned outdoor spaces to set-up along the sidewalks of downtown. (In case of inclement weather, indoor location is TBD).

Contestants are excepted to prepare and bring 6-10 quarts of chili in their own crockpot(s) (and you're welcome to make more). Contestants may enter no more than two chili recipes. Contestants will have access to an electric outlet and must provide their own table (must be draped), chairs, serving spoon or ladle and extension cord. Contestants may also bring toppings (optional) such as cheese, crackers, hot sauce, etc.

Votes will be counted and prizes awarded at 3:30pm. First place will receive $50 cash and a Trophy, 2nd place will receive $30 cash and a medal and 3rd place will receive $20 and a medal. Zachary Rankin, Coordinator (Text 859-539-6659 or Email zrankin@gmail.com)
