The Atlantic Area Chamber’s Annual Scrooge Contest is underway during the month of November. Eleanor Hoover, who passed away in 2019, organized the contest beginning in 2002 just one year after the inaugural Lighted Parade.
“Eleanor had such a passion for helping others and the food pantry, so we’re thrilled volunteers have stepping up to keep her tradition alive,” Bailey Smith, Executive Director at the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce stated.
The Scrooge contestants raise money and collect non-perishable food items for the Atlantic Food Pantry. The 2021 candidates include: Ray Paulin, Atlantic Bottling; Tom Cappel, Deter Motor Company & Atlantic Fire Department; and Kelli Anstey, Fareway.
According to Smith, contestants are responsible for collecting and submitting their points to the Chamber by November 23rd at noon. The contestant with the most points will be named Scrooge and all proceeds will benefit the Atlantic Food Pantry. Winner of the Scrooge Contest serves as the Grand Marshal in the Lighted Parade on December 4th at 6 PM in Downtown Atlantic. Cash donations are worth 5 points on the dollar and one non-perishable item earns the contestants one point.
This year, the Atlantic Food Pantry is asking for a specific list of food items, with a focus on monetary donations due to limited storage space. The money will help them purchase food items as needed, including meat and refrigerated items. The list of needed food items includes:
“Our food pantry continues to see an increase of individuals and families in need of food assistance since the pandemic began last year. We have such a great group of candidates this year. They’re all very determined people who already do a lot for our community. I have no doubt this will be a successful outcome for the food pantry,” mentioned Smith.
Past Scrooge titles have been awarded to: Mary Ann Moorman 2007, Dana Halder 2008, Tammy Wise & Janet Huey 2009, Ritchie Anderson 2010, Janet Cappel 2011, Melanie Petty 2012, David Miller 2013, Mark McNees 2014, Ted Robinson 2015, Jon Johnson 2016, Rob Stamp 2017, Rob & Sonya Clausen 2018 and Billie Hoover, Jackie Sampson & Lori Christianson 2019 and Brain Ruge 2020.
The contest will run now through November 23rd. Donations to a contestant can be made by delivering food or funds to their drop off locations. For more information please call the Chamber at 712.243.3017 or email chamber@atlanticiowa.com.

The winner of the Mayor’s seat in Atlantic won’t be known until after November 30th. That’ when a run-off election will be held between the candidates with the two top votes, Grace Garret and Tim Teig. Both received less than 50% plus 1 of the votes in order to claim a complete victory. Teig garnered the most votes in Tuesday’s election, with 523. Teig said the competition was certainly not surprised by the outcome.
He says he’ll continue to push his message heading into the run-off….
Teig says that includes his level of experience he brings to the job.
He says he appreciates the support he’s received so far, and asks for those who voted for someone else, to reconsider him for Mayor.
Grace Garrett received 463 votes, Tuesday. She said she feels great about the results and feels she is still the best choice for Mayor.
Garrett, a relative newcomer to the City, said she started getting involved in the community when she and her husband moved here in 2017.
She says she wants to lead and see what every generation can bring to the table.
She asks voters for one thing when it comes to the upcoming election: “You can trust me to do what I say I will do.”
