Chilly Night for a Chili Night: HOT! HOT! HOT! Thanks to all!

Fort River's annual Chili Night was held last THURSDAY - what a fun evening! The turnout was terrific, and the chili chefs were involved in a heated competition for epic bragging rights. There were 14 mouth-watering chills and the winners were:

Steph Jones for Chili Chili Bang Bang

Best 5-alarm:

Phil Airoldi for Eyeball Sweatin' Chili

Best Name:

Steph Jones for Chili Chili Bang Bang

Lisa Solowiej for Dragon's Love Vegan Chili

Thanks so much to our Chilly Chili Coordinator, Allison Page, and her hardworking committee: Stacey Beganny, Nicole Blum, and Jessica Spoehnle. So many other parents lent a helping hand to bake bread, staff the tables, set-up, clean-up, make announcements, etc. Community events at Fort River are fun because everyone is willing to pitch in … THANK YOU!

The PGO raised $288 from generous contributions. This pays for 75% of the FREE Directories provided by the PGO!

Finally, thanks SO MUCH to all of the 2nd grade parents who provided the baked goods, 2nd grade students who worked the table and did the selling, and all of our dessert table customers. The 2nd Grade made enough to bridge the funding gap for the visit from Wingmasters and to provide scholarships for the spring trip to Sturbridge Village. 

If you see our winners or volunteers, please congratulate and thank them for making this annual event such a success!
