2011 New England Regional Chili Cookoff
Pleasant View 452 South Rd. Somers, CT
11am to 4:30pm
May 7, 2011 will welcome Chili Cooks from across the country to Pleasant View 452 South
Rd. Somers, CT as they compete for an opportunity to represent the New England Regional
Chili Cook Off at the International Chili Society's World Championships later this year.
The New England Regional Chili Cook Off had a long history in Somers, CT in the 80's and
90's. The event then was held in Woburn, MA in recent years before returning to its home in
Somers, CT in 2006. Sanctioned and governed by the International Chili Society, cooks will
compete in Red Chili, Chili Verde and Salsa categories. There will also be non-ICS
categories for a Youth Division for kids under 18 years of age and People's Choice Chili.
Cash awards will be distributed to winning teams.
The New England Regional Chili Cook Off is very proud to announce that the event will
benefit the Somers (CT) Fire Department and Patriot Guard Riders CT and the outstanding
work that they do in our community.
In the past four years the New England Regional Chili Cook Off has raised in excess of
$79,000 and close to five tons of canned goods for local non profits.
The event is open to the public from 11am to 4pm. Tasting kits will be sold at the gate for
$5.00 and 2 canned goods per adult, kids under 5 and over 70 free. All canned goods will be
donated to "Champs Place" a Somers, CT Food Shelf. Live local entertainment will take the
stage. Food vendors and crafters will be on hand. A hot pepper eating contest will be sure to
heat things up! DEFCON will have a "Death Match" wing eating contest! The American Red
Cross will also be conducting a blood drive.
Whether you come to cook, sample the best chili in the world, or just watch, this will be a fun
filled family day. Come out on May 7, 2011 and support the Somers Fire Department and
Patriot Guard Riders CT.

Regional Chili Cook Off at madmike@chilict.com or go to chilict.com
