Cassville’s traditional annual fall festival, the Chili/Salsa Cook-Off and “The Show” are scheduled for this weekend. The Chili Cook-Off will be on Saturday, October 22, on the Cassville Square, beginning at 8 a.m. The theme for this year’s festival is “70’s and 80’s TV Shows.” The performances of the 24th anniversary of “The Show,” based on this year’s theme of the 70’s and 80’s, will be held on October 20, 22, and 23 at the Cassville FEMA building.
Advanced show tickets will cost $7 or $8 at the door. Children 12 and under get into the show for free. Table reservations are available for $75, which will include eight seats, or cost $15 per person.
The shows on Thursday and Saturday are at 7:30 p.m. A special Sunday matinee is to close out the performances for three days beginning at 2 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are available at the Cassville Chamber of Commerce office, 504 Main Street in Cassville, or at all local Cassville banks.
Besides the show and the Chili Cook-Off, the Cassville YMCA is sponsoring a “Chili Run” 5k and 1 mile run/walk starting at 8 a.m. on Saturday, October 22. Participants are strongly encouraged to dress as their favorite 70’s and 80’s TV show characters where prizes will be awarded for the best costume. For more information, contact Dove Haney with the Cassville YMCA at (417) 847-1535.
The Annual Fall Festival Chili/Salsa Cook-off has been on-going for several years. Residents from all over the area gather around the Cassville square, often featuring up to 90 craft and informational booths and food vendors. Food vendors will be offering funnel cakes, kettle corn, BBQ on the day of the event.
This year’s festival will host the favorite chili/salsa cook-off competition, chili dog eating contest, a pet parade and also live music entertainment from local musicians. Over the years, Cassville’s Chili Cook-Off has had different types of venders come to the event run by different owners.
Very few booth spaces are still available for purchase. Be sure to contact the Cassville Area Chamber of Commerce at (417) 847-2814 for any information.
