ALMOST HERE – Chugwater Chili Cook-Off JUNE 14th

Chugwater Chilit Cookoff Facebook Page

Each year, I get to host the Chugwater Chili Cook-Off & Roundup in Chugwater, Wyoming.

Meaning, I'm the guy on stage announcing stuff.

If you have not been yet, then make sure this is the year you go.

Join us on Saturday, June 14, 2025, for the 39th Annual Wyoming State Championship Chili Cook-off. Festivities will take place in Staats Park in Chugwater, Wyoming!

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 the funds raised goes toward a scholarship fund.

We hope to see you this year as you join the thousands of individuals who are welcomed into our great community, where time moves slower and smiles are bigger!

There’s something for the whole family in 2025!

Chugwater's Hysterical Pie Eating Contest.

One of Wyoming's smallest towns added a new event. A PIE EATING CONTEST.

The rules are simple:

Not hands allowed.

Eat as much as you can before time is up.

The results are hysterical.
