Chili Cook-Off Fundraiser!
Chili-tasters at the second annual St. Croix Falls District Scholarship Foundation Chili-Cook-off selected “AAA-DJ’s” chili as this year’s winning entry. “AAA DJ’s” was a collaborative effort between Joe Weinberg of Dresser and Dean Kalmoe of St. Croix Falls. Entries from Sarah Brown and Wolf Creek Methodist Church (Andrea Jones and Barb Davidsavor, chefs) tied for second place, and third place went to the St. Croix Falls High School Parents Advisory Committee, Mary Beth Peterson and Sue Younker, chefs. The more than 140 attendees chose the winners from a wide field of chili entries, ranging from hot to mild to vegetarian. Other contestants in this year’s competition included Richard Townsend Construction (Richard Townsend, chef) , St. Croix Falls Lioness (Jeanne Jensen, Pam Ketow and Eileen Stensven, chefs), A&W (Adrienne Gyllen and Wanda Brown, chefs), Festival Theatre (Janet Luhman and Mary Martin, chefs), Susie Jasperson, St. Croix Falls Band Boosters (Nanette Hagen Hinck and Tom Hinck, chefs), Rediske, Inc. (Jenny and Keith Rediske, chefs) , and St. Croix Falls School District Superintendent Glen Martin.
The January 22 chili cook-off event, which also included a silent auction featuring a variety of items donated by local and twin cities businesses, raised more than $1700 for scholarships for graduates of St. Croix Falls High school who continue their education through college, university and technical education programs. In 2007, the St. Croix Falls District Scholarship Foundation partnered with local businesses and individuals to award more than $50,000 in local higher education funding to 72 students.
Scholarship applications will be distributed to graduating seniors in February, and scholarships will be presented at an awards ceremony on May 5. The first place winner of the Chili Cook-off will have the opportunity to present a Chili Cook-off scholarship to a graduating senior. In addition, a limited number of scholarships will be available for St. Croix Falls High School alumni who graduated prior to 2008 and who are still in school. The alumni scholarships are awarded by random drawing. Applications for alumni scholarships are available from Shelly Skemp at 483-9823, and are due by April 1, 2008.
