In addition to some great-tasting chili, there will be:
• Live music including country and western
• All day raffle with great prizes
• Contests and games
• Beer and wine garden
• Hot dogs, chicken wings, pies and cakes, and other goodies


Last year this event had 14 chili teams competing for trophies and approximately 600 visitors.  This year they are expecting as many as 30 teams to sign up and host as many as 1,000 attendees. This is already the largest and best-attended event of its kind in Costa Rica!


As before, funds raised go to support the wonderful 
Hogar de Vida de Ninez
home for abandoned, abused and orphaned children. Located in Atenas, the home accepts children from all over the country, referred by the Child Services Administration.  Last year they raised about $3,400!!!


This event was founded by Kay's Gringo Postres
