Braving snow and ice, the Lost Lakes wind farm team prepared and served chili to an excited arena full of community members from the wind farm's surrounding neighborhoods at the Annual Okoboji Winter Games Chili Cook Off.
Though the EDPR chili did not take home the gold medal on the awards platform, the warming concoction was a big hit among the tasting and voting public. In addition to the Lost Lakes wind farm staff, External Communications Associate Adam Renz and the Vestas team at Lost Lakes were on hand to serve chili and engage in conversation with EDPR's Lake Park, Iowa, neighbors.

These events allow EDPR an up-close and personal opportunity to connect with stakeholders and participate at the most local of levels. A renewed focus on outreach in 2014 and beyond means more participation in events such as the Winter Games at sites across the North American platform.
