Thank you again to our incredible sponsors, dedicated Cornerstone School parent and student volunteers, The Cornerstone School Board of Trustees, our faculty and staff, and, most importantly, each of you for making the 44th Annual Marion County Chili Cook-Off such a tremendous success!

From a record-breaking car show turnout with 94 incredible vehicles (thank you to all who shared your amazing rides!) to the outstanding chili teams who brought the heat, this year’s event truly exceeded expectations. And it wouldn't be possible without your support - THANK YOU!
