| Special Thanks! Special Thanks to the Viterbo Dietetic students for sharing their time and talent to judge this event. It is not an easy task to take on!We also want to share our appreciation for all of those who have donated to sponsor a young chef and our event sponsors. Thank you to Mayo Health System, Strive 2 Thrive Coulee Region and Festival Foods. The generosity of these donors allow us to provide mystery ingredients free of charge to any participant who needed that support, we were also able to include groups of students at the Boys and Girls Club of La Crosse, North Side Elementary School, The Salvation Army and The Good Fight Club. Together we were able to connect event more youth in our region to healthy food. |
