Salida Soup Presenters Seek Funding Each Month

On the third Thursday of every month for the past 4 years, Salidans have come to the SteamPlant Event Center Ballroom with food and a $5 donation, ready to listen to three compelling presentations from their friends and neighbors, hoping to win enough votes to collect the night's earnings...the Soup Pot.

NAMI Sweeps Salida Soup 43

Holiday cheer was in abundance at Salida Soup 43 on December 20th, as diners voted the Soup Pot earnings to the Salida chapter of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) and their upcoming workshop programs.

Soup 42: Let's Give Thanks nets SHS Drama extra $!

The third-annual Let’s Give Thanks version of Salida Soup welcomed back 10 winning presenters from the past year to give updates on their projects, as well as to hopefully win some additional funds.

Who ya gonna call?! The OG 'busters from 1984 wins the Community Vote!

The votes are in…and they’re covered in ectoplasm! The original Ghostbusters (1984 - PG) won the Community Vote during Spooky Soup on October 18th. Meet us at the SteamPlant theater on Monday, October 29th at 6:30 p.m. to catch it on the big screen!
