Faith in Action

The 2020 Chili Cook-off was a great success again!

The total raised for the event was over $760 going to ELCA missionary work in Cairo, Egypt and Dane County Jail Ministry. There were 10 Chili makers and others that donated juice, milk, desserts and others that help set up and clean up! Winners were:

James Hardin - 1st place
Troy Freemyer - 2nd place
Denise & Gary Snorek - 3rd place

The kids favorites were:

The Harvey’s and Viken’s Chili!

A big Thank You goes out to the Chili makers: Gary Gausmann, the Snorek’s, the Haefer’s, the Harvey’s, the Viken’s, Pastor Beth, Sonja, Jim Hardin, Troy Freemyer and the Wendricks. Beverage donations: Joe Nemec, Karen Poley, Linda Marks, Mary Ackerman, Diana Tonn & Carol Wendricks! Dessert donations: Carol Duffy, Betsy Nemec, Jean Lande, Elaine Haefer, & Pam St. John.
