The third annual Jaycees Soup and Chili Bowl was held on Saturday January 24, 2009 at the Cold Spring Brewing Distribution Center. Over 1800 people came through the doors on the blistery evening, and those who attended got a chance to sample some of Minnesota’s best soups and chilis. Profits from the event will go toward the ROCORI Trail project. Those who attended contributed over $500 in cash as well as donations totaling to over 1,200 pounds of food for our local food shelf. Altogether the event was an astounding success. Hats off to the Jaycees and all that helped to make this event possible. See you next year at the 4th annual Soup and Chili Bowl.
