PULLMAN – The cougar sculpture made from canned food by the CUB Lower Level team won the CUB Canned Food Drive Sculpture Contest that ended Wednesday.
The cougar collected $48.95 in “penny votes” from passersby. The four sculptures together raised $77.35 for the CUB community to donate – along with 999 pounds of nonperishable food – to the Pullman Child Welfare Food Bank.
Winners of the CUB Community Crock-Pot Cook Off were:
Most unique dish: Thai Coconut Curry Chicken Soup by Anita Cory, director of the Center for Fraternity and Sorority Life.
Best overall dish: White Chicken Chili with Corn by Vernette Doty, coordinator of academic programs in the Center for Civic Engagement.
Honorable mention overall dish: Beans & Bacon by Tessa Hoplin, fiscal technician 3, CUB.
Best dessert: Cherry Chocolate Fudge Cake by Becky Manning, administrative manager, Center for Civic Engagement, and Neil Manning, assistant director, CUB event sales and scheduling.
People’s choice: Tie between two of the above winners – Beans & Bacon and Cherry Chocolate Fudge Cake.
Each semester the CUB Community Group conducts a service project in which those who work in the CUB take part.
