          Cake
        
        
          Auction:
        
        
          Eat cake and support 4-H
        
        
          O
        
        
          n Sunday afternoon as the fair neared its end
        
        
          for 2015, a 51-year-tradition continued as
        
        
          several cakes were baked and judged before a live
        
        
          audience, then later auctioned off to the highest
        
        
          bidders to raise money for the 4-H programs.
        
        
          At the auction, the top eight cakes auctioned by
        
        
          Mike Maske garnered $3,450.  As in years’ past,
        
        
          this entire amount will go directly to the Logan
        
        
          County 4-H in order to support their programs
        
        
          throughout the year.
        
        
          After the results of the judging were shared, each
        
        
          winner brought his or her cake up to be auctioned
        
        
          by Maske.
        
        
          Maske asked each of the bakers to describe their
        
        
          cake and hold it up for the audience to see during
        
        
          the bidding.  After each cake was auctioned, the
        
        
          baker and buyer posed for a photo with Miss Logan
        
        
          County Fair Lizzie Ford and Little Miss Preslee
        
        
          Sherren.
        
        
          Continuing their yearly tradition, Cullers’ French
        
        
          Fries was once again the top bidder for the grand
        
        
          prize cake, with a bid in the amount of $800.
        
        
          Sivori Catering placed the highest bid on the
        
        
          second place cake as they have for the past several
        
        
          years, paying $650 for a chocolate cake made by
        
        
          Jeanie Runyon.
        
        
          Continuing a 12-year tradition, the McLaughlin
        
        
          family presented a plaque in honor of Annie Lori
        
        
          McLaughlin. This year, it was presented by her
        
        
          namesake granddaughter.
