OUR LATEST LOCAL STORY
F U Chilli Eating Comp
The F U Chilli Eating Competition might be all about heat on the surface, but for our local community, it’s something deeper. It’s about positive vibes, laughter, local flavour, and that unbeatable community spirit—from first-timers testing their limits to the quiet underdog who stole the show.
This year’s event lit up the Waipapakauri Hotel with over 27 kids in the new sour lolly challenge, 10 brave chilli contenders, and a crowd roaring with support.
Read more about the people, moments, and madness that made this fiery local favourite one for the books.
