chili cookoff

Hannibal's first party opportunity of 2022 was a rousing success. Golden Eagle Distributing and the Hannibal Jaycees hosted the 38th annual Chili Cookoff Saturday at the Admiral Coontz Recreation Center.

With the understanding that the weather could be a factor, the area's weekend activities calendar is a busy one.

Here are key dates for some of Hannibal's favorite annual events and activities in 2015.

30 years of the Golden Eagle Chill Cookoff will be celebrated on February 16 in Hannibal.This is gonna be huge!

Everybody eats. Some of us eat a lot. Too many of us, probably. That might help explain the popularity of food events. Whether it's a chili cook-off, barbecue festival, chicken wing competition or burger blast, there's a good chance that if food is involved, a crowd will follow.
