Gateway Industries of Eldon is proud to announce that our Annual Chili Cook Off is scheduled for April 5th, 2024!!! At last years event we had over 300 people attend and raised over $10,000.00. Every year the event gets bigger and better.

This event features both a Silent Auction and a Live Auction event with an auctioneer. We also have a Dine & Dash feature that allows individuals who cannot stay for the entire event to purchase gift cards from local restaurants, boutiques, car washes, etc.. for the face value of gift certificate. This allows the opportunity for individuals to still be able to support our organization and for us to receive the whole amount of a certificate instead of partial amounts from most Silent Auction items. We are also offering a Wheel of Fortune Wheel loaded with lots of prizes, for a chance to spin & win, you have to purchase a ticket for $20.00 and be put into a drawing for your chance to win.

Local businesses and individuals have an opportunity to have bragging rights for the "Best Chili Around" award!! There are a total of 5 judges looking for texture, color, aroma, flavor, blend of spices, & consistency. The judges will vote for the "Best Chili Around" award and the community will also vote for their favorite Chili.
