 Before the show began, Marsha Greenslate, one of
the fair Superintendents for both days, sat down for a friendly chat
with Lincoln Daily News. She said that she was hopeful that Friday’s
judging would go better than Wednesday.
She went on to explain that there had been a calamity of unfortunate
events at the first judging held on Wednesday. The end result was
that it took all of the afternoon and into the evening to get the
work all completed.
In connection to these complications, early on at the judging on
Friday, Greenslate announced that there were a couple of local media
sources on hand. If any of the winners from Wednesday were present
and would like to have a photo taken of the winning entry, the
photographers present would be happy to do so.
From the Wednesday show, Mary Johnson came up and had her photo
taken with her Champion Yeast Bread entry from Wednesday.
The official judging began when retired LCHS Home Economics Teacher
Brenda Silano arrived, prepared to enjoy a morning of taste testing
a large variety of sweet treats.
Judging included cakes, candies and snack foods, starting first with
candies, and wrapping up at the end with cakes.
The winners of the cake categories then had the option to enter for
the Cake Classic Bake-off to be held on Sunday at the fair.
