Each year, those who visit the Beefiesta tasting booths can vote for their favorite at a penny per vote. This year’s winner was Norder who, along with the Beefiesta Committee decided that the proceeds would go to the Angel Tree program sponsored by Compass Behavioral Health during the holiday season. The donation of $1,970.19 was the largest ever through the tasting booth fundraiser. Pictured are (from left) Bill John of Norder with the traveling trophy, Myles Glunz (Beefiesta Committee), Rebecca Murphy (Angel Tree coordinator), Tom Shirley (Beefiesta Committee), Max Meschberger (Compass regional director), Lindsay Singley (Chamber director and committee member) and Morgan Numrich (Beefiesta Committee).
