Several events have been planned in the upcoming months to celebrate Ellsworth’s Sesquicentennial, the first occurring Saturday, March 3rd, beginning at 2 pm at Broz Bar, where events will include a Euchre Tournament, Chili Cook-Off and Beard Contest. The Chili Contest will begin at 4 pm, when the photos of clean-shaven participants will be taken. Contestants are asked not to shave until Sunday, June 24, during Cheese Curd Festival weekend (they will be given a button to explain their status during that period). Then, the best beards will be judged in the following categories: Best Handlebars, Most Unique, Full Beard and People’s Choice. The winners in the first three categories will be given trophies, while the people’s choice winner receives $150. The chili judging begins at 5 p.m. March 3, with awards being presented for first, second and third. Euchre winners will receive $150, $50 and $25, respectively. To register for the cook-off and euchre tournament, contact Sarah at the Chamber Office. Sponsorships! The Cheese Curd Festival is seeking sponsorships for this year’s event!
