Chili Pots for Tots

Sat, Nov 28, 2026 · Flower Mound, TX · CASI-sanctioned

Our take written by Chili Times

Chili Pots for Tots is a CASI cook-off at the River Walk in Flower Mound, in its 2nd year by the listing's count and at a new venue, raising money for the Marine Corps charity named in its CASI entry. New, unwrapped toys brought to the event are entered into a drawing, and the listing mentions live music, brunch and a wine lounge.

Entry is $30.00 with a 1pm turn-in and chili grind meat. Jackpot beans cost $10.00 with a noon turn-in and a 50/30/20 payout, and the listing says cooks can move under the parking garage in bad weather.

Our plain-language reading of the sanctioning body's listing quoted on this page. It adds no facts of its own.
