Announcements for the Week of January 10th

Chili Cook Off and Silent Auction!  

On January 15th at 6:00pm bring your best chili to see how it rates against all the others.  Does your chili have beef, caribou, chicken or moose?  Is it mild or could it be used as fire starter? Well we want to try it and see how good it is.  Don’t have a great recipe? Don’t worry, just come enjoy all the great chili that will be presented. 

During the evening there will also be a silent auction to benefit the Sprinkler Fund.  The next phase of the sprinkler project is due this summer and it’s time to raise the funds to support it.  

To sign up your chili or to donate an item for the auction, contact Jed Else at  Jedediah.j.else@gmail.com.
