On
Friday, culinary judging at the Logan County Fair
included judging of cakes whose bakers would then be
eligible to participate in the Sunday Cake Classic.
Jeanne Runyon won the Best of Show with her Chiffon Cake
and will be baking it on Sunday in the Lincoln Stage
barn along with several other competitors, each baking a
different type of cake.
Baking will begin at noon. After the blind judging, the
Cake Classic Auction will be held on Sunday afternoon.

Oops!
Looks like something got a little too hot in this hot
rod tractor on Thursday night at the Logan County Fair.
While black smoke and even flames shooting from the
exhaust stack are not uncommon on these hot rod pulling
tractors, the red glow up by the firewall near the
driver is a sure tell that something isn't quite right.
The fire was extinguished without harm to the driver or
those nearby.
The pulls at the fair are a big event sanctioned by the
Illinois Tractor Pulling Association. The event draws
competitors from far and wide to thrill the audience
with their super-powered weight-pulling ability.
