ASHLAND – Buffalo Wild Wings Bar & Grill will play host to the second annual Cheese Stick Eating Contest at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 11, to raise funds for the United Way of Ashland County
Buffalo Wild Wings is co-sponsor of the event with Lake Erie Frozen Foods.
The unique fund-raiser will serve corporate and individual entries to see how many cheese sticks participants can consume in a five-minute time period. Last year, Richie Taylor of Aber’s Truck Center was crowned champion.
Registrations are still open and interested companies or participants can contact Brian Dill at Lake Erie Frozen Foods at 419-289-9204 for details.
Also as part of the fundraiser, The Ashland Donley Group will have a drawing to determine the Ashland-area finalist with a chance to win a two-year lease on a 2017 Ford Escape or a cash option of $5,000. Anyone who has contributed $10 or more to the 2017 Caring For Our Own United Way campaign is eligible for the drawing. Five names will be drawn at the event; four will win chamber cash certificates and one finalist who will win a 40-inch flat screen TV, compliments of Town & Country Co-Op.
The Ashland finalist will face off against three other finalists on Tuesday, Feb. 14, at the Mount Vernon Donley dealership to see which lucky contestant draws the keys to start the Ford Escape. The other three finalists were drawn in connection with the United Ways of Richland, Crawford and Knox counties.
Any new donor wishing to donate at least $10 to the campaign and be eligible for the drawing can contact the Ashland United Way office at 419-281-5551.
