As in the past, a number of local businesses have entered the contest, but, according to chili contest chair, Mary Ann Ellickson, \u201cThis year we\u2019re thinking outside of the box.\u201d<br \/>\nThe reference is to the fact that past entries have been primarily business sponsored, and this year Auxiliary members are encouraging anyone who has a \u201csecret chili recipe\u201d to consider entering the fray. It\u2019s all for a good purpose, as proceeds from the yearly gathering are directed in support of Sparrow Clinton Hospital. \u201cWe know that everyone joins in support of the hospital,\u201d explained Ms. Ellickson, \u201cand the Snow Day chili cook-off is a wonderful way to share a fun evening of good food and good time.\u201d Information and details for entering the contest may be secured by contacting Ms. Ellickson at 989 224-8288.<br \/>\nMeanwhile, the main event \u2013 Snow Day at the Emerald \u2013 is set for Saturday, January 28 at the Emerald golf course and this year\u2019s entertainment is in the form of a karaoke contest during which time Auxiliary members will be seeking a winner to be identified as The Emerald Idol.<br \/>\nOverall chair, Kathie Clock explained that past attendees have suggested a karaoke event, \u201cSo we took them seriously and added it to our schedule,\u201d she said. \u201cFrom early ticket sales, we expect it to be as hot as the chili contest!\u201d A bonfire (outside, of course!) will light up the darkness and a cash bar will enliven the spirits.<br \/>\nThe evening will begin around 4:30 p.m. and include the cook-off at 5 followed by dinner at 6:30. The karaoke challenge is set for 7:30. All this for only $15.00 per person, but tickets must be purchased by January 21. They are available from any Auxiliary member or by calling Shelley Gunther, 989 224-6137 or Kathie Clock, 989 834-2412. Tickets are also being sold at the Gift Shop, located near the entrance to the hospital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mary Ann Ellickson, chili cook-off chair, crosses lables with Larry Moeggenberg as interest builds up for the 4th annual chili cook-off challenge set for this year\u2019s Snow Day at the Emerald.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26604","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26604"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26604\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26604"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
