Viroqua SOUP is a micro-granting, crowd-funding event celebrating and supporting creative projects in Viroqua. For a donation of $5, attendees receive soup, bread, and a vote, and listen to four project pitches that can include anything from an art installation to a community event to a social cause. Each presenter has four minutes to share their idea and answer four questions from the audience.

At the event, attendees eat, talk, share resources, enjoy music, and vote on the project they think will benefit the city the most. At the end of the night, the ballots are counted, and the winner goes home with all of the money raised to carry out their project.

Previous winners include the Waffle Wagon, bringing people together for conversation over a hot coffee and fresh waffle, and the Fix-It Folks, which is a community group that comes together with tools and knowledge to repair household items reduce waste!

HUGE thank you to Salt & Tipple for hosting us and providing soup, Rhythm Bakery for the bread, and Westby Creamery for the butter!
