This event is held in memory of Thomas Huber, a longtime business owner and supporter of the Historic Valley Junction Foundation. With his wife Marj, Tom was the owner of Heirlooms By Design / Outstamping Designs. He was involved with HVJF from 1993-2010, when he passed away unexpectedly while serving as Board Chair-Elect. His chili recipe was a highly guarded secret and many customers looked forward to his famous chili during the store's anniversary sale. He is missed for his friendship, his support, his wisdom and his business acumen.
