Think Wild, Bend’s nonprofit wildlife center, is excited to announce the Get Wild Chili Cook-Off, a delicious, family-friendly fundraising event. Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 16, 2024, and join us at Aspen Hall in Shevlin Park from 4:00 to 8:00 pm for an evening of delicious chili, live music, raffles, and more!
Event highlights will include the Chili Cook-Off Contest, in which attendees will sample and vote for their favorite chili, soups, and side dishes across five exciting categories:
1. Best All Around
2. Wildest Chili
3. Best Vegan/Vegetarian Chili
4. Soup-er Soups (best soup or stew)
5. Best Chili Side Dish (cornbread, tasty toppings, etc)
In addition to delicious chili, guests can enjoy wine, seltzer, cider, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase. The event will feature live music, raffle prizes, and exclusive footage from Think Wild’s beaver monitoring trail cameras at Shevlin Park.
This event is made possible by the generous support of Bend Park and Recreation Department for sponsoring the venue, and by Van Henion Brewing, Sunriver Brewing Co., and Bend Cider Co. for providing beverages.
