About Pahrump Chili Cook-Off
History of Pahrump Chili Cook-Off
The chili cook-off was started 13 years ago by Pahrump's own Ron Frazier (pictured left in photo). He started the cook-off with the intent to help the local community and non-profit organizations within Pahrump. Ron passed on his event to Kelli Sater, another Pahrump local who shared the same visions as Ron, back in 2019 and since then it has continued to grow in size every year! Ron and his wife Marion both passed away, every year we are dedicating the cook-off in both of their honor. They loved people, they loved their community and they looooved chili!
What to Expect for 2025
This year's chili cook-off you will see all sorts of fun and entertainment going on during the event! On top of the chili tasting, this year we have a full carnival, live music from our locals as well as some Vegas Favorites!

Helping those who help others.
This year's chili cook-off we will be donating to the Pahrump Valley Kiwanis Club, and the St. Jude's Ranch for children!
Both these organizations do so much for our youth, and we couldn't pass up an opportunity to help them in their efforts to better the lives of children and their futures!
