Chilly at the Lodge and Yellow Rose of Texas
Sat, Feb 6, 2027 and Sun, Feb 7, 2027 · Huntsville, TX · ICS-sanctioned
Our take written by Chili Times
Josey Scout Lodge on 22nd Street in Huntsville hosts two ICS cook-offs on consecutive days, Chilly at the Lodge and the Yellow Rose of Texas Chili Cook-off. Each offers Traditional Red, Homestyle, Chili Verde and Veggie at $35.00 each, and each listing calls the event a qualifier.
Chilly at the Lodge prints the public details: free admission, tasting kits at $5 for 6 samples or $20 unlimited, a vendor market and live music, with proceeds going to repairs and maintenance of the historic lodge. The Yellow Rose listing has no public details yet.
Our plain-language reading of the sanctioning body's listing quoted on this page. It adds no facts of its own.
