Gluek Brewing Company opened their doors to the public at their brand new distribution center as they hosted the annual Cold Spring Jaycees’ Soup and Chili Bowl. The event takes place the every year one week prior to the Super Bowl and the best part is, it’s free! They gladly accepted donations to the local food shelf and all proceeds went to the Cold Spring Library with a small amount being set aside for other community funds. This year’s event was even bigger and more successful than last year. Thanks to all of those who participated whether it was consuming or providing soup and chili. Thanks again and see you all next year.

The Sauk Rapids Farmers Market had their Grand Opening last week, and the event was a huge success. Mayor Mark Campbell was on hand to open the Market with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Miss Sauk Rapids Brittany Tischmak and First Princess Krista Corrigan were also at the event serving lemonade. The market features locally grown produce in season and locally made products.

Vendor space is still available. Vendors must grow or make their products within the five county areas of Benton, Stearns, Sherburne, Mille Lacs and Morrison. Variances to location can be granted at the discretion of the steering committee for unique products that enhance the market. The market is open every Thursday through October 25 from 3:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the Living Waters Lutheran Church parking lot located at 1911-4th Ave. N. in Sauk Rapids, near the intersection of Hwy 15 and 18th St. N. The market is funded in part by a grant from the Initiative Foundation. The Sauk Rapids Farmers Market Steering Committee is a taskforce of Celebrate Sauk Rapids, a Healthy Communities Partnership organization.
