United Way Chili Cook Off!

     This year, Crafts for Cause was given the amazing opportunity to bake for United Way of the Eastern Upper Peninsula's Annual Chili Cook Off. We were the very first group that held a bake sale at the event. I guess dessert is always a good idea after a lot of chili sampling. 

     All our bakers did such a wonderful job. We were able to help United Way raise $220.00 to use in our community. Every year, United Way has the cook off in the gym at Lake Superior State University. There, local businesses cook up unique pots of chili and decorate their booths to stand out against their competitors. At the end of the night, everyone votes on the best chilies and teams are awarded. I was obviously partial to War Memorial Hospital's chili because I work there. There is live music, lots of people, and great food. It was a perfect way to heat up in the freezing cold Sault Ste. Marie temperatures. 

I hope next year United Way asks all of us at Crafts for Cause to bake again. Here are some photos from the event!

Thanks again to everyone who donated their time and effort to the bake sale!
