2018 fair-print

2018 Logan County Fair Lincoln Daily News July 29 - August 5, 2018 Page 223 Best cakes in Logan County raise record support for 4-H As the 82nd Annual Logan County Fair neared the end Sunday afternoon, a 53-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 4-H. At the auction, the eight cakes auctioned by Mike Maske raised a record setting total $4,800, surpassing last year’s $3,495 by over $1,300. As in years’ past, this entire amount will go directly to the Logan County 4-H to support programs throughout the year. After the results of the Cake Classic judging were announced, each winner brought his or her cake up to be auctioned by Maske, who asked each baker to describe the cake and hold it up for the audience to see during the bidding. Once each cake was auctioned, the baker posed for a photo with the buyer plus Fair Queen Molly Schempp and Little Miss Kylee Fulk. Jim and Darcy Culler were the top bidders for the first-place cake, with a bid of $900, continuing their long- standing tradition of buying cakes at the auction. As part of another longstanding tradition, the McLaughlin family presented a plaque to the first- place winner in honor of Annie Lori McLaughlin. By Angela Reiners CONTINUE 00
