Miss
Logan County Fair Queen Molly Schempp,
Jeanne Runyon and Kathleen Emery
Saturday
and Sunday at the Logan County Fair will
be jam-packed with great entertainment
events and other activities. Among those
will be the Cake Classic Bake-off and
Auction held on Sunday. This year there
will be some amazing bakers at the cake
classic including Karen Sandel, Jeanne
Runyon, Carlene Carter, Dana Oltmans,
Faith Sanders, Daniel Crider, Joyce
Conrady, and Darlene Crider. Look for
Jeanne Runyon to be baking a chocolate
cake with chocolate frosting. This is
the recipe that won her Best Over All
Cake on Friday at the preliminary
judging.
The Cake Classic Auction is a fundraiser
for Logan County 4-H. To date, the
highest total amount raised at the
auction has been $3,950. So, grab those
checkbooks and come on out for a chance
at a sweet treat and let's see if we
can't break $4,000 and set a new record
in 2018!
