For more than 35 years, Crosslake Businesses have simmered up their special chili recipes and every year the competition is HOT, as businesses go head-to-head for the Golden Ladles and bragging rights!
We're bringing in self proclaimed culinary enthusiasts from the Crosslake Ideals Lions Club, Chuck Cole, Dale Walesheck and Kim Walesheck who will determine who wins the Crosslake Days Chili Cook-off Judges Trophy.
The Peoples Choice award is determined by hundreds of samplers, and often a tougher crowd to please! Tasting begins at noon at businesses Crosslake-wide until gone.HOW TO VOTE:Download the Crosslake App to your mobile device and vote for your favorite by 3 p.m., winners will be announced and trophies presented shortly after.
