We hope during your visit, you will wander through the
16th Annual Battleground Chili Cook-off Area.
The cook-off is held each year and sanctioned by the Chili Appreciation
 Society International (CASI). All proceeds from this event go to the
preservation of the Parker's Crossroads National Battlefield Park.
 Throughout the years, this group has donated over $20,000 to the
preservation efforts of the Battlefield Association. What began as
a small event, has now become the premier chili cook-off East of the
Mississippi River, attracting many past world and international champions!
