The 5th annual All American Chili Cookoff will provide a day of fun for the whole family at Becker Vineyards on July 4. Nearly seventy world-class cooks will compete in this CASI-sanctioned event sponsored by the Pod On The Pedernales. Cooks will be trying to win points that will help them qualify for the Terlingua International Chili Championship. The public will vote for their favorite chili of the day and the winner of the prestigious Peoples Choice award. Chili tasting proceeds will benefit Habitat For Humanity.

Becker Vineyards opens at 10am and public sampling will begin at 11:00. The day will also feature entertaining chili showmanship, wine tasting, and music.

Becker Vineyards is located 11 miles east of Fredericksburg, 3 miles west of Stonewall, off U.S. Hwy 290 on Jenschke Lane. For more information, contact Alan Dean at 512-567-2835.
