The Sertoma Chili Cook-Off is an annual fundraising event founded by the Springfield Area Sertoma Clubs: Heart of the Ozarks Sertoma , Springfield Sertoma & Queen City Sertoma. The event began in 1981, and has become one of the biggest parties of the year in Springfield. Chili Cook-Off features dozens of area businesses serving a wide variety of chili recipes that attendees are able to sample and enjoy, as well as voting for their favorite booth. A number of live bands and activities are hosted throughout the day alongside the delicious food and drinks. When people hear about Chili Cook-Off coming up — they know it’s the party to attend! Proceeds from the event go to support the Boys & Girls Clubs of Springfield , one of the many charities Sertoma Clubs have been proud to partner with and support. Eating chili, hanging out with friends and family, having fun… and it’s all for a good cause!
