Grand Finale for Hot Reads Reading Program

For the grand finale of the Hot Reads For Cold Nights program a Chili Cook-off was held at the library. Library Director Bonnie Adams and Children's Librarian Ingvild Herfindahl brought their chili to be judged as the best.

Although there was not a large crowd they were enthusiastic about what they thought chili should taste like. Some thought Bonnie's was spicy and unique with the addition of small pasta instead of beans. Ingvild's was great with the traditional chili with beans.

Everyone enjoyed the eight weeks of events for our adult reading program:three authors, two Wii game nights, noon cooking demonstration, travelogue, and the chili cook-off. Many patrons also won our weekly drawings of coffee cups, hot reads bags, and gift certificates from local businesses.

We would like to thank all that came to the events, the local businesses' generosity of prizes, and the Friends of the Library for hosting the events. A big thank you to Fran Johnson for making sure their were refreshments.
