Chili cook-off and pie auction will take place to benefit local family

Fellowship of Christian Men will host a chili cook-off and pie auction to benefit the family of Joe Kusar from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday in the exhibit hall of the La Plata County Fairgrounds.

Kusar is currently at the MD Anderson Center in Houston undergoing chemotherapy and other treatments while his wife and children remain in Durango. He will soon receive a bone marrow transplant from his brother and be quarantined in Houston for 90 days.

Tickets are $5 per person at the door for a tasting cup, and donations will be accepted by voting for your favorite chili. There will also be a pie auction and a silent auction.

For more information or to donate a prize for the auction, contact Joe Clair at 903-9417. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go toward the Kusar family’s medical expenses.
