LITTLE TASTE OF WESTBY”

The Westby Development Corporation held a chili/soup cook off on March 25 to raise funds for the annual Westby Community Parade of Lights and Festival of Trees at the Westby Community Center. Coming in first place was the team consisting of Garrett and Sharla Adams and Dorcas Drawbond, all of Westby. The Adams/Drawbond team served up “Dorcas’s Famous Chili.”

A free will donation was asked in exchange to sample all of the goods and to cast your vote for the best.

Coming in 2nd place were Brenda Ryals and Tara Stewart with their version of Zuppa Toscana soup. Coming in third was the husband/wife duo Robyn and Brian Wiley’s clam chowder. Fourth place was awarded to Karla Christensen and Peggy Bowman’s buffalo chicken chili.

Westby Development board member Jody Lagerquiest reflected on the night declaring “everyone was a winner.”

Funds from the event will be used to replace light bulbs for the annual parade and tree festival.
