MILFORD — The Milford Kiwanis hosted their annual during the 2023 Food Truck Friday Finale’s Fall Festival. There were over 20 participants with soups ranging from cheeseburger soup to cream of sauerkraut to classic chili and everything in between. The Milford Community Center was flooded with hungry soup enthusiasts, who could sample the soups and then vote for a winner.
- Kimberly Graff and Lynn Collins rank their favorite soups.
- Jack and Cindy Tudor are deciding what soup to try next.
- Kierra and Emelia Ousley try to warm back up with some soup.
- Ashley and Malachai Ferguson sample a chowder.
- Tara and Jeremy Little try their first soup of the night: chili.
- Lots of last minute voting before the votes are tallied and the winner announced.
And the winners are…
