Eighteen contestants competed in a chili cook-off to benefit United Way at the AEP Generating Station on Thursday, October 21st. A total of $654.00 was raised during the event. First place winner was Dick Lewis, second place was awarded to Greg Randles and 3rd place went to Rodney Taylor. Judges for the event were Mike Cichon, from Coshocton County Career Center, Joel Moore, Conesville Elementary School’s Principal, and Bill Bussard, of Local 1466. Planning for the event was done by employees Mary Ellen Daugherty, who is also a United Way board of control member, and Sherra Swope, Senior Administrative Assistant who stated, “it is truly amazing to see employees come together to benefit United Way. Without such giving employees, this would not have been the success it was. It shows just how much the community in which our employees work and/or live means to them.”
Proceeds will go to the 2010-11 United Way campaign and will be used as allocations for the 19 partner agencies of United Way of Coshocton County.
