The Highground was chosen to be the recipient of the $300 proceeds gathered at the OEM Chili Cook-off held in February. Funds raised at the cook-off were matched by OEM and then brought to The Highground.
Scott Katcher, the 2010 chili cook-off winner, chose this year’s recipient. The group decided the funds should be used toward the new entry awning needed at the Learning Center’s library entrance.
The Highground recognized OEM employees and chili cookers.
