CHILI & BREAD CONTEST WINNERS

The chile and bread contests at the Reserve's Winter Fest, sponsored by the La Farge Lions Club, were well attended. Winners in the chili contest were, Tucker Lee in the People's Choice Category and Larry Wruck won the Judge's Choice. Terry Beck's No Knead bread recipe was the winner in both bread categories. The La Farge Lions took in nearly $400 in tasting fees for the event and will donate that amount to the Reserve's education programming.
