The 14th Annual Southern Illinois Chili Cook-Off is back again at the Marion Elks #800 on November 4th at 10 am.
To date, we have raised more than $280,000 to be given back to local charities that focus on the lives of our youth in IL. Come out and join the party with both a chili and a bloody mary contest! Check out all the Scary Movie themed booths and try each chili from sweet to spicy for only one $10 entry fee.
