Championship Chili Cookoff Heats Up Championship Sunday January 25

Bring your best pot — or just your appetite — and help our Veterans.

The Phx Elks #335 Championship Chili Cookoff returns on Sunday, January 25, 2026. Come down and see if you are the best chili chef, or just come on down and taste all the chili and help pick the champ while watching the NFC and AFC Championship games on 18 TVs.

It’s free to enter your chili, with prizes and bragging rights for the top three. Tasting all the entries costs just $5.00, with cornbread, brownies, and all the fixins provided by the Veterans Committee. Chili needs to be entered by 1 p.m., with judging at halftime of the first game.

All proceeds benefit our Veterans. Additional votes may be purchased before judging — remember, vote early and often for charity!

More information is posted in the Lodge, on Facebook, and via the Flash. Contact Larry Bodwell at 602-989-5896.
