After careful consideration and conversations with Polk County Public Health and local healthcare providers, the United Way of Crookston has decided that an in-person event for its Soup and Chili Cook-Off is not in the community’s best interest. With cases rising and vaccination rates low, they said they can’t, in good conscience, put anyone in the community at risk. The United Way of Crookston’s mission is to promote education, stability, and healthy communities, so they will make sure to do everything they can to keep everyone in the community safe. They will be having a modified, drive-through event on the planned date of October 19th at the Crookston Inn. They will have soup, chili with all the fixings, cornbread and a chocolate dessert served car side. You can continue to check United Way of Crookston’s Facebook page and their website: www.unitedwayofcrookston.org for details and further updates. Now, more than ever, we live united.
