The Kingston Midstream Cooks that Cook once again prepared lots of food to support the United Way Estevan, and a large crowd turned out to enjoy the food.
More than 250 people filled the Wylie-Mitchell building for the fundraiser Friday night. The event is Kingston Midstream鈥檚 annual fundraiser for the United Way. More than 50 chefs prepared sample-sized food for the crowd.
Justin Pearce, who was the MC for the evening, noted that in the first 11 years that Kingston Midstream has run the event, it has raised more than $320,000 for the United Way.
This year鈥檚 event featured a live auction that raised thousands of dollars, as well as silent auctions, raffles and other fundraisers.

United Way Estevan president Becca Foord said the support of Kingston Midstream helps out 15 member agencies and community impact projects.
鈥淭his year鈥檚 theme is Give Where you Live, so it鈥檚 really nice to see that there鈥檚 so many people out here are supporting a local organization.鈥�
She expects everyone in the building has been impacted by one of the member agencies and community impact projects in some fashion, whether it be a family member, friend or someone else in their lives.
鈥淭he positive impact that these agencies and community impact projects have is indescribable. They are making people鈥檚 lives better each and every single day.鈥�
Proceeds will be directed to the United Way Estevan鈥檚 annual telethon, which will be Oct. 18 and 19.听
