Branson, MO, 2010 - Titanic Branson Museum Attraction’s first regional Firemen’s Chili Championship Cookoff is scheduled to fire-up on Saturday, October 2nd from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the museum attraction’s outdoor arena, announces Titanic Branson owner, John Joslyn.

“Firemen chefs will light their fires in honor of the brave firemen and stokers who stood their ground when the great Titanic went down. They’ll be competing against fire fighting challengers for thousands of dollars of prize money and the chance to bring home the Great Firehouse Chili Cookoff Championship title,” says Joslyn. “First place winner will receive $3,000; Second Place winner, $2,000; and Third Place Winner, $1,000,” Joslyn adds.

Chili cookers will be up early slicing, dicing, chopping and stirring gallons of chili in a spirited, five-hour cook-a-thon that begins at 10 a.m. Hot and spicy, mild and mellow, secret ingredients and guarded recipes all come together at the Great Firehouse Chili Cookoff. The public is invited to come early, watch the prep, sample the many different firehouse chili concoctions and pass judgment as they see fit.

A select panel of judges will declare the cookoff winners at 4 p.m. “At this time, a special “People’s Choice Award” donation will be made to the Missouri Humane Society,” Joslyn declares.
