Meant to post on this earlier. We (Starkville Young Professionals) had a very successful event to help raise funds for the United Way. Special props go to Jeremiah Dumas, who introduced the idea and nurtured it through to the very end. I was able to serve on the committee that worked on the program and had a great time.
Over $2,600 was raised for the United Way. Likely this will become an annual event. There were 4 prizes awarded:
1st Place: Bin 612
2nd Place: Harvey's
3rd Place: Ole Venice
Best of Show: Dave's Darkhorse Tavern
As a point of pride, I'd like to point out that 3 of the 4 awards went to restaurants in Ward 4.
Here is an incomplete list of the soups available:
