Volunteer Application

Join us as a volunteer at this year's Lip Rippin' Chilympics Chili Cook-Off and be part of a fun, high-energy community event! Volunteers will help with a variety of tasks including setup, guest check-in, vendor support, and keeping the event space clean and organized. You may also assist with crowd flow, ID checks, or chili judging logistics. This is a great opportunity for friendly, reliable individuals who enjoy working with people and being part of a team. Volunteers should be comfortable on their feet and able to lift light items as needed. You'll gain valuable event experience, volunteer hours (if needed), and enjoy the festive atmosphere. Come help us make this a flavorful and memorable day for everyone!
