chili13COSHOCTON – Four participants vied for cash prizes in the first Coshocton High School choir chili cook-off contest that was held Feb. 23 in the high school cafeteria.

Rachel Geary was the winner. The participants, pictured from left, were Brenda Roberts, The Word Worship Center, Kristen Binggeli and Geary.

The event was held to raise funds for the choir to travel and perform at Gettysburg this spring. Organizers were hoping to serve 120 people, but close to 250 tickets were actually sold.

“I’m very happy,” said Michael Blowers, director of choral studies and activities at the high school. “I think the people here so far are happy and we want them to leave that way so they will come back next year. We’ve already talked about making this better next year and think we’ve laid the groundwork for a bigger and better event.”

Twenty corporate sponsors, along with McDonalds who donated refreshments for the event, also helped make it a success.

“Next year we are going to expand,” Blowers said. “We will put more time into it and get more people involved.”
