BELOW ARE A FEW PICTURES OF THE 2024 CHILI-COOK-OFF
Presents the 10th Annual Chili Cook-Off
February 7, 2026, 4:30 – 7:00 PM
Piankatank Ruritan Club Building
7138 Buckley Hall Rd.
Hudgins, VA 23076
Can you Believe It, Time Keeps Marching On and Before Long it will Be Time for the 2026 Chili Cook-Off!
As Chairman of Mathews Rotary Club’s Chili Cook-Off Committee, I am soliciting your participation and support for this great event being held on Saturday, February 7, 2026 (Super Bowl Saturday). As you know, this event has become one of the biggest social events of the winter in Mathews! With over 500 people at the Piankatank Ruritan Club the night before the Super Bowl, it is a fun and enjoyable experience.
As in the past we will be awarding the “Judges Choice & People’s Choice” individual awards as a donation to the winning participant organization instead of a trophy and have decided to increase that award to $200.00. In addition we have decided to bring back the “Best Decorated Booth” competition for a prize of $100 to the winning participating organization as well as a prize of $100 to the organization who sells the most tickets (Mathews Rotary Club is not eligible for this prize).
Take out orders will be available for purchase at the door and each booth will have quarts available for sale after 6:00 PM.
