The annual vegetarian cook-off began in 1989 when Shirley Wilkes-Johnson brought together the leaders of four vegetarian societies from across the state of Texas to form the Lone Star Vegetarian Network. Our mission is to show a healthy lifestyle can be as familiar as traditional, homemade chili – and a lot more fun! All of the chili is purely vegan. The cook-off is open to all entrants. To find an entry form, log onto our web site: www.LSVN.org or call 512-413-2933 (Austin), 972-235-5665 (Dallas) or 281-997-9202 (Houston) to request that a form be sent to you. The cook-off is open to the public for tasting and mingling; admission is only $10 to taste ALL the different chili (includes Zoo Entrance fee)! There will be lots of chili to taste, lots of interesting people to meet, guest speakers, great door prizes, live music,

and many educational booths & exhibits. 1st Place-$300, 2nd Place-$200, 3rd Place-$100 People’s Choice-$250, Best in Show-$100 Trophies and cash prizes are given for First, Second and Third Place for the “Best Chili” and for “Best Booth”, as determined by a team of Celebrity Judges. Trophies are also awarded for “People’s Choice”; the chili voted best by the public and “Best in Show” for table decorations and presentation. Entrants get wild

with themes for their tables. This year, it will be exciting to see the ideas people come up with to set their chili apart from the rest. One thing we know for sure, every bite from every chili pot will be healthy, vegan, and delicious!!!
