OKOBOJI, IA (Northwestiowanow) — The Iowa Great Lakes Chamber of Commerce is calling on vendors to sign up for two popular events during the 2026 Winter Games.

Chamber Marketing & Events Coordinator Morgan Strauss says they want to make this year’s celebrations bigger than ever.

For the Chili Cook-Off, vendors will need to bring plenty of chili and creativity.

The Chocolate Classic offers a sweet escape indoors. Strauss says it’s a fan favorite.

Vendor registration for both events is open now at www.uofowintergames.com.  The Winter Games are scheduled January 22-25th in Arnold’s Park, Iowa.
