43rd Annual Chili Superbowl and Brisket Cookoff

In 1982 several Abilene business men became aware of the need that existed at the Abilene Boys Ranch. Since most of these "Good Ole Boys" were chili cookers it was decided that the way to raise money would be to have a chili cookoff. The Directors and Volunteers are proud to help the ranch by sponsoring the Chili Super Bowl annually on Labor Day weekend in beautiful Buffalo Gap TX. Up to 100 of chili chicken rib brisket beans chef choice and dessert cooking teams from all over the state come to compete for prize money in excess of over $6900. All cash money is donated by local merchants.
