COOK OF THE WEEK - CHANTLAND OFFICE STAFF

The Chantland-MHS and The Chantland Pulley and Roller Companies office staffs have decided to show off their team spirit by wearing their favorite team shirts every year the Friday before the Iowa/Iowa State Football game. It’s also a good time for tailgating recipes and, every so often, they have a potluck in the office as well so they wanted to share some of those recipes. Several of the Chantland office employees attend the games for either the Hawkeyes or the Cyclones. Angie Peters attends the ISU football games and is especially interested as her stepson, Levi Peters is the team captain this year and is a starting linebacker. It’s all in fun to have a rivalry in the office going on, however, we all know we are all from Iowa and it’s all in good fun. So on Friday, the day before the game, the Cyclones won 13 – 12 in the office by counting the fans!
