🚨 The Hunt Is On! AIGP's Annual Chili Cook-Off & Pumpkin Carving Bash! 🚨
Get ready to carve, cook, and compete! Our legendary Annual Pumpkin Carving and Chili Cook-Off is almost here, bringing the fun (and the spice!) on Sunday, Oct 25 from 2:00 to 4:00 PM at Boon Elementary in Allen (by the playground)!
🏎️ The Treacherous Cheater Races & Smashes!
Get ready for high-stakes, chaotic action with the Cheater Races! Imagine a race down a ramp that fools the judges, where only one pumpkin successfully crosses the finish line intact, avoiding the ultimate Smashes! Who will survive the chaos?
🎃 Carve, Cook, and Conquer!
Mark your calendars! Join us at Boon Elementary by the playground for friendly competition, fall cheer, and a chance at glory!
Here's what you need to bring:
🎃 A pre-gutted pumpkin: Bring your hollowed-out pumpkin and carving tools, but make sure to carve it there on-site to be eligible for judging!
🪑 A portable table and chairs.
🌶️ And, most importantly, your BEST CHILI! The more the merrier!
The Chili Cook-Off winner will earn a highly coveted award, a year's worth of bragging rights, and a prize truly worth its weight in gold:
"skip-the-line" privileges for all campout meals next year! Imagine a cold morning, and you go straight to the front of the breakfast line...
🌶️ The Great Chili Debate Rages On!
Bring your culinary masterpieces and your passionate opinions! This year, we’ll try to settle some of life's most controversial questions right here by the Boon Elementary playground:
Do beans belong in chili?
Is white chili really chili?
Join us Sunday, Oct 25 at 2:00 PM! Let's see those carving skills and taste those fiery masterpieces!
