The Oktoberfest - La Crosse, WI Food Drive Competition winning group was The Trustees with 1439 dollars/food items. They'll receive a $100 Kramer's Bar & Grill gift card.
Donors of $50 or more were entered into their choice of one of our two prize drawings. The winner of the $100 Kramer's Bar & Grill gift card is Karla Stanek. The winner of the Jeep Jamboree trip gift certificate is Wayne Kindschi. Congrats to our winners!
