The winner is… LiftUP of Routt County. This is the Food Challenge between Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue and the Steamboat Springs Police Department. It was decided that it was a tie. They were battling it out to see who could raise the most for LiftUp during the holidays. The two groups brought in 1,814 pounds of food and hygiene items as well as $1,500 in donations, with Jon Wade and The Steamboat Group getting 2,868 pounds of food more for the cause.
