Northeast Florida got ‘fired up’ over the weekend at Moosehaven’s ‘hottest’ event of the season! Many chili lovers, flavor fanatics, and car enthusiasts attended the 13th annual Chili Cook-Off & Car Show. It was a sizzling celebration of hot cars and hotter chili!
Talented cook teams battled it out for ‘Chili Champion’ titles while visitors enjoyed river views, craft vendors, a kids zone, and live music by Bold City Classics. NASCAR driver Ross Chastain brought the Moose Fraternity No. 1 Show Car and took pictures with fans, and more than 200 classic cars lined the Moosehaven grounds.
Thank you to our sponsors for another fantastic event, and a big congratulations to all of our Chili Cook-Off participants and winners!
