The East Bernard Fair Fund
The East Bernard Fair Fund's Annual Cookoff Begins in…
East Bernard Fair Fund, Inc. is a non-profit, charitable organization dedicated to supporting the youth of East Bernard and Lissie who participate in the Wharton County Youth Fair.
For 38 years, the volunteers and parents of the EBFF have worked to ensure the students who exhibit in the WCYF are rewarded for their hard work, dedication and efforts with their FFA and 4H club projects.
Since 1987 the East Bernard Fair Fund has been helping the youth of our community. The EBFF couldn’t do what we do without the support of our generous donors and countless volunteers! Our community has raised money to support thousands of local students and their projects.
Our annual cook-off fundraiser is held each spring, before the fair. The categories include chili, beans, cornbread, ribs, chicken, dessert chef’s choice, margarita, and dip. All cookers are welcome! The entry fee is $30/category except for margarita & dip - $10/entry or enter all nine for $195. Complete rules and entry forms can be downloaded on the Cook-Off page.
Our annual Chili cook-off competition will be held on March 1, 2025. A Pork Steak Dinner and Live Auction will follow the cook-off, where results and prizes will be awarded.
