USDA Agricultural Research Service (Auburn) Oct. 28
Chili Cook-Off Tammy Dorman, project officer for the US Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in Auburn had a fantastic chili cook-off on October 28th. In her own words, “The chili cook-off was a great success! We raised $175.00! This money is being given to two CFC charities chosen by the winner of the chili cook-off, Dr. Brett Runion. Everyone had a great time and loved the chili and the fellowship. This may be the start of an annual thing!!"
