The Cold Spring Area Chamber of Commerce started the new year with a Business After Hours event held at  the First National Agency of Cold Spring.  The evening networking gathering was sponsored by First National Bank and First National Agency of Cold Spring.  In this story you'll hear from our own Duane Kuss, 2009 Cold Spring Chamber President, and Jim Eiynck, First National Bank and chamber board member.  The Cold Spring Area Chamber is coming off of a banner year for the organization where in 2008 membership surpassed the 100 member mark for the first time in their 45 year history.

3rd Annual Jaycees Soup & Chili Bowl ... BIG SUCCESS!

Bette & Cliff Johnson enjoyed a wide number of soups and chili.  This particular one was called Chicken Pot Pie and was a specialty of Dino's Southside Cafe in Richmond.

The crowd was equal if not bigger than last year when over 1,000 persons came through the door in the first hour of the event.  Stay tuned to DigElogROCORI for more video coverage of this great Jaycees annual fund raiser early next week.  You'll want to play close attention to a special interview we did with lady who makes a delicacy know as "Coke Butt Chicken Chili".  For the past two years her Chili has won second place out of 40.

ROCORI Boys Varsity Hockey vs Sauk Rapids

 

The River Lakes Stars have had a breakthrough season this year much in part to the play of their senior defensive co-captains Steve Terry and Reggie Fraley.  Coming into the game against Sauk Rapids, the team knew if they were to have any success against the Storm, it would take a tremendous defensive effort. Through only one period, the Stars trailed the Storm by only a goal and after two periods, they only trailed by two.  However in the third, the Storm put the game away and demonstrated why they are still a dominant force in the Central Lakes Conference.
