On
Friday morning, one of the many activities going on
at the Logan County Fair was the Department O
judging of candies, snack foods, and cakes. At the
end of the cake competition, Jeanne Runyon won the
Best of Show with her triple layer chocolate cake
with chocolate frosting. Jeanne also placed first in
the adult chocolate cake with chocolate frosting
category, which earned her the chance to participate
in the Cake Classic on Sunday. The baking for the
Cake Classic will take place at the fair in the
Lincoln Stage building. After baking the cakes, the
entries will be judged, then later in the afternoon
sold at auction.
Jeanne's award was presented to her by Miss Logan
County Fair Queen Michelle Paulus and Little Miss
Logan County Paisley Baker.
