The Kiwanis will also hold a soup supper from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday night, Jan. 31, at the Syracuse Community Center, 1013 N. Long Drive. Sample from a number of gourmet soups, and cast your vote for your favorite. Cost is $5.

Individuals, civic groups and businesses are invited to participate in the soup supper by entering their favorite soup. They are asked to prepare and supply three to four gallons of their best soup.
