The Chili Cook-off Spooktacular was a huge success on October 27! Eleven teams competed and over $1500 was raised for the Library Boosters. The Grayville Lions Club also made a generous $1000 donation. It was a great day of fun for a great cause! Thanks to all who participated and helped.

The Grayville Lions Club presented a donation check for $1000 to the Boosters, bringing the total of funds raised at the Cook-Off to over $2500! Thanks so much, Lions!
