šŸ”„ Man O’ War Harley-Davidson’s 15th Annual Chili Cook-Off šŸ”„
Get your spoons ready—it’s time for one of our favorite traditions! Join us at Man O’ War Harley-Davidson for our 15th Annual Chili Cook-Off, where the competition is fierce, the chili is hot, and the cause is close to our hearts.
All entry fees and donations benefit Military Missions, Inc., a non-profit organization that sends thousands of care packages to Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen deployed overseas. Each package includes snacks, hygiene items, socks, entertainment, and handwritten notes of support—small comforts that mean the world to our service members.
Think your chili has what it takes to take home the crown?
šŸ‘‰ $10 entry fee per chili — bring your best recipe and your competitive spirit!
Just here to taste and vote? No problem!
šŸ‘‰ $5 donation gets you a tasting bowl and a vote for who earns the title of Chili Champion.
šŸ² How It Works:
Bring one crock pot of your best chili and drop it off by 10:30 AM the morning of the event. To keep judging fair and completely anonymous, all chilis will be transferred into identical catering trays, so there’s no need to stay and serve.
Man O’ War Harley-Davidson will provide tasting bowls and spoons. You’re welcome to stay and taste or judge if you’d like—but it’s not required.
Important Notes:
• Chili contestants MUST complete the registration form in advance.
• If you’re only tasting and judging, simply show up the day of the event—no registration required.
šŸ† Prizes:
šŸ„‡ 1st Place — $200 & Trophy PLUS a $100 MOW H-D gift card sponsored by Law Tiger
🄈 2nd Place — $50 MOW H-D Gift Card
šŸ„‰ 3rd Place — $25 MOW H-D Gift Card
Anyone can be a judge! Each $5 donation earns one judging ticket—up to three per person.
