Competition 2024

Thanks to everyone who joined us for an incredible Hot Dish evening at Bucks Mill Brewing!
We enjoyed watching our Hot Dish Finalists pitch their ideas to build a stronger Detroit Lakes community.

Our winner is Kathryn Hoffmann-Thompson. Her son, Severin Thompson, played fiddle during her pitch and is included in the photos below.

150 people attended the event, and together, we raised $815 for the winning idea!

Heartfelt thanks to all our finalists, attendees, and supporters for making this event a success!
