Individuals or groups who would like to participate are asked to register by 8 p.m. Jan. 25, by returning the completed form to the Syracuse Community Center or Alexis Mast, soup supper chairperson. Once registered, participants will be asked to prepare 4-5 gallons of the soup of your choice and bring it to the Syracuse Community Center by 3 p.m. Friday, Jan. 27. Once the soup is dropped off, your work is done.

Kiwanians will serve your soup to the public at the soup supper from 5 to 7 p.m. that night. The public will then vote on their favorite soups in the following categories based on who prepared them: Individual, business, restaurant, and non-profit organization. There will also be an overall winner. The winners will be announced at the conclusion of the event and the winning soup in each category will receive a plaque.

For those who would like to attend the soup supper and taste all of the soups, the cost will be $6 per person. If you have any questions about this event, contact Mast, soup supper chairperson, at (260) 215-7089 or by email at [email protected].
