3B THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2017 ABATE raises money for food banks with spaghetti feed and auction Iron Chef Goes Coastal raises $60,000 for United Way The Daily Astorian The 10th annual Iron Chef Goes Coastal, a fundraiser for the United Way of Clat- sop County held Nov. 7 at the Seaside Convention Cen- ter, raised a record $60,000. The event sold out and attracted 650 attendees, orga- nizers said. John Sowa, from Sweet Basils, and Jeff Martin, from Silver Salmon Grille, pre- vailed over Jonathan Hoff- man, of Chef’s Table and Dough Dough Bakery, and Josh Bokish, from Osprey Café. The money will be invested into 14 partner agen- cies “who fight for the health and safety of every person in Clatsop County,” Jenni- fer Holen, executive direc- tor of United Way of Clatsop County, said in a release. The chefs and restaurants that participated in the peo- ple’s choice savory and des- sert made for a tough com- petition, Holen noted, but only two will advance to next year’s stage to compete against and alongside this year’s winners. The top two votes went to Maggie’s on the Prom and Fort George Brewery. Sea Star Gelato, in Seaside, won Best Desserts in Clatsop County. “These funds raised are part of a bigger picture, a larger goal, and are only a fraction of what is needed to not only build, but maintain the overall health of our com- munities,” Holen wrote. “In a world of unknowns and cur- rent climate, both political and literal, we applaud you for standing up together and standing up united.” Board nominations sought for Nehalem Watershed Council The Daily Astorian ABATE The annual North Coast ABATE Spaghetti Feed and Auction is being held from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday at the Astoria Moose Lodge, 420 17th St. Pictured, some of the auction and raffle prizes at the 2016 event.
