The following is What’s New for the LSCC cookoff scheduled for October 5, 2024 (Revised April 15, 2024)
Our New Charity!
Please meet our new charity who will benefit from the LSCC cookoff – the Pink Warrior Advocates.

Let’s all become Warriors and make this year one of the BEST year possible.
Jr Miss Chili – Entry Fees *** ADDED APRIL 15 ***
Exciting news! For this year, the Jr Miss Chili entries fees are all SPONSORED by Petroleum College International – so there will be no entry fees for a Jr Miss to cook at this years competition. We look forward to seeing these “future” Queens in action!
Raffle
This year we have had 3 items donated to participate in a raffle. Raffle tickets are $25.00 for a single entry. Raffle tickets can be purchased starting now and up to the raffle drawing on October 5th. Raffle Tickets can be purchased (either via email or in-person) from Mona Schlieper (monaschlieper@yahoo.com), Deba Center (bcenterster@gmail.com), Gene Moffett (bprophet@gmail.com) and Bobbi Furst (bobbi.furst@astound.com).

Vendors
LSCC has invited 10 vendors to come and sell their products during the LSCC cookoff. Vendors will be located around the Pavillon and will start to set up around 3pm on Friday, October 4th. Most vendors will only be present on Friday and Saturday. Please come and help make this successful for these vendors by purchasing products from them.
Goodie Bags
This year Goodie Bags and guaranteed T-Shirt sizes will only be given out to LSCC cooks who PRE-REGISTER. To pre-register, you will need to go to the LSCC registration page and ensure payment is received no later than 10 August. There will be no “extra” goodie bags to be given out during “in person” registration and T-Shirt sizes can not be guaranteed. If you want to ensure you have a goodie bag and the T-shirt size you want, please help us by pre-registering.
T-Shirt Cut and SIzes
This years LSCC T-Shirts will be a LADIES cut and size. Please pay attention during pre-registration and select the appropriate size for a ladies cut and size. Here are the differences in the ladies cut verses men’s cut:
Opposite to the curved seam found on women’s shirts, men’s cut has a straight seam from the underarm to the hem. Men’s cut apparel is also designed with wider shoulders and loose-fitting sleeves. If the garment is short-sleeved, the sleeve length falls around mid-arm, close to the elbow.
B-I-N-G-O!
Friday night (October 4th), will be our first annual BINGO nite. We will play 10 rounds of BINGO (If “round” is not the right terminology to use – I’m blaming Wikipedia). The purchase of one card is good for all 10 rounds. A single card can be purchased for $25.00 or two cards for $40.00.
What to bring for the LSCC dinner on Friday (October 4, 2024)
Cooks only need to bring DESSERT for the LSCC dinner on Friday. The rest of the meal is being provided. Bring your best dessert for everyone to enjoy!
Awards for Competitions on Friday
Usually the awards for Beans and Margaritas are awarded Friday night. This year, all awards will be presented on Saturday, October 5th starting at 6 pm. After turn in on Friday, please make sure you put your tickets in a safe place for the awards on Saturday.
JACC Showmanship
This year on Sunday, October 6, there will be NO SHOWMANSHIP contest.
Entry Fee prices
Most entry fees to participate in LSCC has increased this year by $5.00. This is the first time LSCC has increased any of the entry fees in a very, very long time. We hope everyone understands this price increase.
