Venango SAL Chili Cook Off

Welcome!

The small town of Venango Ne has been the site for a chili cook off since December 1994.  Since 1996 the Venango Sons of the American Legion have sponsored the event.  The first year there was doubt if any chilis would show up at all.  Since then it has become an annual event looked forward to by many, each hoping they will have the best chili for the year.

This site is to keep everyone informed of the Venango Sons of the American Legion's (SAL) activities with upcoming and past Cook Offs.  Posted will be pictures of past Cook Offs and information about the next upcoming event.  There will be pictures of both past winners and special guests that helped with the judging or just attended along with pictures taken the night of the Cook Off.
