How it all began…
The first chili cookoff was the result of a disagreement between Roscoe and his roommate at the time Lil Hank as to who could make the best batch of chili. This was in November of 1986. Come shootout day over 12 participants had decided they too was the best at making the red stuff, so the contest began. Well not really much of a contest since Roscoe’s was already eaten along with several others before someone decided that judges were needed. The winners of that First chili cook-off was Lil Hank (HOT) and Dawn Huffman (Mild). A great time was had by all.

The event, shot yearly by Chopper Dave, is one of pure “every day” fun lovin’ biker lifestyle, maybe not for all, but for sure captures that “let it all hang out” attitude.
