Carolyn Diedrich of Luverne took top honors at the inaugural Flannel Fest chili cook-off Saturday at the Big Top Tents & Events.

Diedrich bested six other competitors in the fundraiser for the Luverne Hockey Association.

“The whole day was a great turnout,” said Amber Lais with the Luverne Area Chamber. “Some things weren’t well attended, but overall it was a good day.”
