🌶️ Chili Cook-Off Success! 🌶️

Thanks to everyone who came out, we raised over $300 for the library! 🎉

Congrats to Lori Kelly, our chili champion 🏆—her name will go on our library plaque and she took home a $50 Red Fork gift certificate (with $25 kindly donated by The Red Fork).

Huge thanks to our amazing board members for making this event possible. Can’t wait to do it all again next year!
