Chili Cook Off Results and Thanks

  • Posted on October 3, 2011 at 10:25 pm

The PRCP Chili Cook Off and Ice Cream Social was a great success thanks to the hard work of our families – it truly was a Cooperative effort!  From the families who participated in the chili cooking to the food donators, ice cream scoopers and extra hands setting up and cleaning up everyone really came together to make it happen.  Without the time, effort and energy of all of you it would not have been possible.  THANK YOU!

Each entry was delicious and unique – not an easy choice.  But no one went home hungry!  Congratulations to the winners of the day:

1st Place: Big Al’s Green Chili made by the Schneider Family

2nd Place: Daddy’s Birthday Chili made by the Becker Family

3rd Place: Mamacita’s Chili made by the Brown/Alvarez Family

Coloring Contest: Adam Grapentine & Skylar Ott

A great day was had by all – and we netted just under $2200 profit!  Our projections included a bit higher enrollment so we have to make adjustments, but the Silent Auction and Raffle Ticket sales provided strong support to the event.  So a big thank you to everyone’s participation in rounding up donations and purchasing items and tickets.  Again, we couldn’t have done it without you!
