ArtsQuest’s Souper Bowl IX
Super Bowl
IX attracted some 500 ticket holders to the Musikfest Cafe Jan. 27 to sample 29
soups from 19 local restaurants during a three-hour culinary event. The annual
ArtsQuest fundraiser netted more than $20,000 for its Arts Education Fund.
According to Julie Benjamin, vice president of Community Partnerships for
ArtsQuest, the ninth annual Souper Bowl was a sellout. Photo: Ashley Sherman,

his seventh year. Aramark is a South Bethlehem catering company with ArtsQuest
as a major client.

Hawks handle Nazareth in D11 3A final
To say that revenge wasn’t on the mind of Bethlehem Catholic
wrestlers heading into last weekend’s District 11 3A finals would be an
understatement.The Hawks were out to take back the district crown that has
reigned in their trophy case for much of the duration of their stay in the 3A
bracket following last year’s defeat to Nazareth. Last Saturday at Freedom,
Becahi took back their crown in a dominating 43-12 victory. The Hawks won 12 of
14 bouts and controlled the match from the start with Kenny Herrmann’s 4-3 win
over Sean Pierson at 126.
