The Arc of Mower County

The Arc of Mower County thanks Holiday Inn for hosting, decorating and donations for the “Taste of Mower County” fund-raiser and Southwest Sales for its sponsorship, KAUS for all the great talk shows promoting this event, KIMT for all the media coverage and PSA’s, Staples for all the print work, Cedar River Strings for the beautiful music, Bruce Ralph-Johnson Brothers Vintage Wine Division, Mitch Kupfer-Phillips Wine & Spirits, Justin Esplan-Paustis Wines, Sandy Hultgren-Famiglia Meschini Wines for the great wine, all the Chef/Cook participants, all the local and outlying businesses, and for all the personal donations (too numerous to mention) of door prizes and silent auction items.

The chef who captured the traveling trophy and bragging rights was Eric Bridge with Sweet’s Hotel Restaurant and Lounge in LeRoy. Second place went to Kermit Watts from Watt’s Cookin’ and third place went to Dave Olson from Apollo Liquor and Superette.
