Dept. O - Culinary and Dairy
Judging at the Logan County Fair
[August 01, 2025]
On Wednesday, July 30th, an
open judging was held for the Department O culinary entries. There
were many different categories being judged, from decorated cakes to
cookies and even canned goods. The judging kicked off around 10:00
a.m. and went well into the afternoon.
Due to the extraordinarily large number of entries last year, it was
decided that there would be two judges this year so that a single
judge would not get overwhelmed. Rose Harrold returned to judge
again, but just in the afternoon this year. Lincoln Memorial
Hospital Farmers Market Coordinator Jamie Jones was the morning
judge.
The Department O Superintendents were Marcia Greenslate and Janet
Estill. Greenslate shared that there were less entries this year
than last, but that it was still a good turn out. She also shared
that the number of entries last year was way higher than average.
Jones started off by judging the
decorated cakes on their looks before moving on to pies and other
types of baked goods. For the goods Jones did eat (which was
everything beside the cakes), she took her time considering the
taste of each one before making notes on which baked good placed
where for each category. She also had a glass of water to act as a
pallet cleanser between bites. The bites Jones took were very small
as she had well over one hundred items to try.
Jones and Harrold had a well-oiled
machine of a team around them keeping things moving as they tasted
and judged. Sarah Dahmm, Olivia Wrage, Jaydon Miller, and Tucker
Roate worked together getting baked goods to the table to be judged.
They also unwrapped the baked goods from their packaging, put them
back when they were finished, and displayed the items once they had
a ribbon.
Once the judge finished judging a
class, Linda McCuan would write the names of the individuals who
submitted the baked goods on a card next to where they placed.
McCuan would then hand the card off to Ron Estill, who announced the
winners to those who were present for the judging.
An intermission for lunch was taken
once Jones got to the cookies. After the break, Harrold took her
place in the judge’s chair and continued on. In addition to the
cookies and other baked goods, Harrold also judged the canned goods
that were submitted. This judging was based on look, however, as
Harrold did not open any of them.
