• Saturday, May 28, 2016, 3:30 PM - 4:00 PM

Seneca County Cornell Cooperative Extension and the Wild Harvest Table are challenging you to get your game on and bring your best venison chili to be judged at the Celebrate/Commemorate Memorial Day Festival in Waterloo, NY on Saturday, May 28th. This year marks the 150th anniversary of Memorial Day, with its birthplace in Waterloo, NY!

Does your sportsman’s club make the best venison chili at game dinners and club functions? And/or do your family and friends always say you make the best venison chili in town? Come prove it at Seneca County Cornell Cooperative Extension’s first ever Venison Chili Cook-Off! We are having a team category for the best sportsman’s club venison chili and the best individual venison chili with prizes awarded to 1st and 2nd place winners in each category. The winning club will also receive a trophy to proudly display.

How it works -

1. Register your venison chili entry with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Seneca County by phone (315-539-9251) or by email (seneca@cornell.edu) by May 23rd, 2016.
