SUMMARY:MVRS 4th Annual Super Bowl Chili Cook-Off
DESCRIPTION:The 4th Annual MVRS Chili Cook-Off features six (6) non-profit civic groups competing for the BEST CHILI in Mathews County! Always held the day before the Super Bowl\, this is the event NOT to miss during the long winter months! Besides great all you can eat food\, this is a time to catch up with others who also might have “cabin fever”! The majority of the proceeds benefit the Mathews Volunteer Rescue Squad and every organization also raises funds for their charity causes. Our motto is “HELP US\, HELP OTHERS!” as all funds raised go back to help Mathews citizens! Everything is provided and you get to be a voter for the People’s Choice Award. The Award is the Judge’s Award and is decided by a panel of professional food judges. There are door prizes and if you purchased 10 tickets are more or are a sponsor\, you have the chance to win an Automated Emergency Defibrillator (AED)! Bring the entire family and join us for a great evening and take home some chili for your own Super Bowl party.
