Special notes for this year:

  • Advance ticket sales: Tickets are available at the Mercer County Literacy Council or at The Moose Family Center in Greenville.
  • New this year: A Cash Prize will be given to both “Judge’s Choice” and “Peoples’ Choice” winners along with a trophy.

For the past six years, The Literacy Council of Mercer County has sponsored a Chili Cook Off. The event is normally held during the month (usually March) that the Mercer County Commissioners designate as Mercer County Literacy Awareness Month. At the Cook Off, home cooks, restaurants and organizations vie for the title of Judges’ Choice, Best Restaurant, Best Organization, and the People’s Choice. There is also a prize for the best decorated chili booth.
