2024 Chili Cook-off Teams

Guests at the pumpkin patch can sample chili and vote for the best in show and for the best showmanship by a team.

2024 Chili Cook-Off Winners:

Sean Lickteig – Best Taste and Overall Champion
Braveheart Burn – Best Showmanship

Sean entered the Ol’ Mary’s Chili Cook Off for the first time and easily won the vote for Best Taste and that carried him to the Overall Championship. Needless to say, he is excited about coming back in 2025 to defend his title. Congratulations to Sean Lickteig, Braveheart Burn, KOFO Radio, Pleasant Ridge and our great sponsors for helping us raise a record $3650 for the Franklin County Cancer Foundation. The 2025 Ol’ Mary’s Chili Cook Off will be held on October 4.
