Mobscene Motorsports is set to host the much-anticipated annual Chilli Cook-Off in downtown Camden this Saturday. Laurie Kelly, representing Mobscene, shared this exciting news with the Camden Noon Lions Club on Wednesday. What began as a hobby shop has now been officially incorporated since January and operates as a full-fledged modern car shop, with a special focus on rebuilding classic cars. This year, they have added a car show to the event agenda, enhancing the overall experience.

New Rules and Future Aspirations

This year's cook-off will adhere to the rules of the International Chilli Society. According to Kelly, the purpose of these new rules is to open up the possibility for future winners of the Camden cook-off to compete in the World Chilli Cook-off in Mertle Beach, South Carolina. Although the winners won't be eligible this year, they hope to adjust the date in the future to create a pathway for them to go and vie for a $75,000 grand prize. This shows their commitment to raising the bar and providing a platform for excellence. 1: The implementation of these new rules is a significant step forward for Mobscene Motorsports. It not only showcases their dedication to quality and competition but also gives local chili enthusiasts a chance to showcase their skills on a larger stage. By aligning with the International Chilli Society, they are ensuring that the cook-off meets the highest standards and attracts participants from far and wide. 2: The potential for Camden's winners to compete in the World Chilli Cook-off is a game-changer. It brings a sense of excitement and possibility to the event, inspiring both participants and spectators. It also highlights Mobscene Motorsports' vision of creating a community that values and celebrates culinary excellence.

Charity Donations and Their Impact

The proceeds from this year's Chilli Cook-off will be generously donated to two worthy charities - The Call and Shop with a Cop. The Call is a nonprofit organization that specializes in providing training and support for foster families. With a vision to have no children in foster care in Arkansas, they have cared for 30,000 children in the state. This donation will go a long way in helping them continue their important work. 1: Shop with a Cop is another local charity event where children in need are selected to receive money and do their Christmas shopping with a member of the Camden Police Department. The school counselors play a crucial role in choosing the participating children, ensuring that those in need are given the opportunity to experience the joy of Christmas. 2: The combined efforts of these two charities make the Chilli Cook-off a truly meaningful event. It not only brings people together through the love of chili but also allows them to contribute to the betterment of the community. By supporting these charities, Mobscene Motorsports is making a positive impact on the lives of many.
