This was first posted March 14, 2015. This fundraiser was to raise money for a new fire hall when ours burned down.
Well, today was very fun and quite successful.
I did manage to slop some green chili in my car on the way in to the contest… so I’ll be cleaning that up tomorrow! Here’s my entry. I was all about the presentation!
That’s my sign…and a tablecloth… Unfortunately, I didn’t win… Sara did… She’s sporting her new apron, but seriously… she had great chili!
There were only 5 green chilis… but lots of entries for red!
Tons of items were donated for the silent auction which was set up in one hallway of the school…
Then even tons more for the live auction!
Amazing what people donated! Oh, and look… my photo brought $325…
Our Fearless Leader of the ambulance crew even won?/lost? the competition for a nice pie in the face (on pi day, no less!).
Then most of us went to the gym to watch our high school basketball boys coach the alumni teams… and Daniel and Brandon were on opposite teams. It was very fun to watch, most of the guys and girls had fun with it, the crowd sure did! There was lots of catcalling and teasing and cheers for both sides, it was all for fun!
What a great and enjoyable day… What a great and enjoyable community I live in!
There’s no totals for the amount raised quite yet… but it’s probably a record! Way to go, Ten Sleep!

Your picture is beautiful!
What a fun way to raise funds for a needed replacement.
