Skyline Chili's Crosstown Shootout VIP Party Sweepstakes

One of the great Cincinnati sporting events of the year is around the corner, The Skyline Chili Crosstown Shootout. This year's battle between UC and XU takes place December 10th at Xavier's Cintas Center. There is another great annual event that is attached to the basketball game, The Skyline Chili Crosstown Shootout VIP Party. The VIP Party takes place the week of the shootout and as you would expect, features Skyline Chili as the meal, along with appearances by the coaches, cheerleaders and mascots. Attendees also have a chance to win various Crosstown Shootout related door prizes. We attended the party last year and can verify its a very fun and well run event. We will be attending this year as well and are looking forward to the festivities. Free cheese coneys and free beer with college basketball as the backdrop is an excellent night for me.

This year you have a chance of attending the Skyline VIP Party! We are giving away a free invite to one of our lucky readers. Just make a comment on this post that either says "GO MUSKIES!" or "GO BEARCATS!". We will randomly select one as our winner (the winner can also bring one guest). You have until 5 PM on Friday December 2nd to enter. Details about the event are below, only one entry allowed and please do not enter if you cannot attend the party.

• The VIP Party is on Thursday December 8th from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The party is located at the Fourth & Sycamore location in Downtown Cincinnati.  
• Attendees will have the chance to win Crosstown Shootout Prizes and enjoy a Skyline Chili buffet.
• Mo Egger of Cincinnati’s 1530 ESPN Radio will broadcast live interviews with Coach Mick Cronin of UC and Coach Chris Mack of Xavier.

Skyline Chili Gift Card Giveaway

Since we have had a record breaking number of hits this week, we have decided to give away a $20 gift card to Skyline Chili to one of our fans. We are going to use Twitter and Facebook for this contest. Here is how you enter:

On twitter post: "The @CincyConeyQuest is giving away a $20 @Skyline_Chili gift card! http://tinyurl.com/coneyquest RT & follow to win"

On Facebook post a comment on our wall that indicates you want to win the gift card. (e.g. something as simple as "I want the Skyline card!" will suffice)

This will be a random drawing like our Gold Star give away was. One entry per social media platform. If you post on Twitter and Facebook that will count as 2 entries. Two entries is the most you can have (i.e. if you RT or post on our wall multiple times it will still only count as one entry). The contest will go on until Friday at 4PM. Good luck!

Gold Star Chili Gift Card Giveaway!

We are in possession of a Gold Star Chili gift card worth $15, which is enough to by a whole Coney Crate! We decided it would be nice to reward one of our faithful readers with the gift of free chili. To enter for a chance to win, tell us your favorite non-cheese coney item from a chili parlor (doesn't have to be Gold Star related). We will assign a number to each response and draw the winner out of a hat. We will announce the winner Friday afternoon.

Note: We do have a gift card for another chili parlor in town that we will also give away at a later date.
