The 9th annual Chili Cook Off was an immense success. 66 guests joined us for an evening of sampling chili, supporting Farm Bureau Young Farmers competing in the District 1 Young Farmer Discussion Meet, and raising funds for Harvest for All. $2,765 was raised to be split between the counties and donated locally. A HUGE thank you to our sponsors! Without you this event would not be possible.
