The World's Championship Chili Cookoff was the place to be to see the "stars." Ernie Borgnine, Wilt Chamberlain, John "Bozer" Bowman, William Conrad, Joanne Dru, Peter Marshall, Helen O'Connell, Rory Calhoun, Dan Haggerty, Jim Mitchum, Dennis James, Arte Johnson, Alex Trebeck, Leslie Uggams, Jackie Olden and Tom Poston were our celebrities in attendance. Bill Pfeiffer, the 1980 World's Champion, made chili history by joining C.V. Wood, Jr. and Joe DeFrates as another two-time World's Champion. Bill took home a check in the amount of $25,000, raising his total winnings from the World's Championships to $40,000.
