Join Mrs. Tri-Lakes on Saturday, June 15, 2024 for the 38th Annual Wyoming State Championship Chili Cook-off. Festivities will take place in Staats Park in Chugwater, Wyoming! (Not too far from the Colorado State Boarder)
The cook-off began in 1986 as a way to celebrate the best chili and the best town, together. Now, the cook-off has grown to the largest single-day event in the state. As a registered non-profit organization, all funds raised are invested back into the Chugwater community to help the town continue to flourish. We proudly support our local Economic Development Center and Historical Group, as well as our local schools, volunteer Fire Department, and Community Center. In addition, a portion of funds raised go toward a scholarship fund. We hope to see you this year as you join the thousands of individuals that are welcomed into our great community where time moves slower and smiles are bigger!
