American Legion Post 136\u2019s chili\/cornbread cook-off turned out to be a successful fundraising event, once again. Nineteen chili entries, an all time high, were entered into the event and eight cornbread entries were entered. <\/p>\n
From mild to hot chili and cornbread, everyone got to sample both and voted for the best of the best depending on taste buds of the testers.<\/p>\n
Winners for the chili were first prize to #7 Craig Bilski; second prize tied #1 Memory of Buck by Terry Roberts and #3 Mike Scott; and third prize went to #11 Betty Ann Bisher.<\/p>\n
The winners of the cornbread were first prize to #1 Jeannie Glenn; second prize #3 Robert Scudder; and third prize to $5 Renae Berner.<\/p>\n
American Legion Post 136 would like to thank all of our participants who donated their great creations making this year\u2019s cook-off a success. <\/p>\n
A thank you to Ed Mitchell, Past Commander and Veteran Service Officer of the post, for heading the event and all of the volunteers serving. The amount raised was $381 to benefit the scholarship fund for 2026. <\/p>\n
