THREE PLACE IN 2005 HCE DAIRY RECIPE CONTEST

(Baraboo)—If invited to a party where appetizers from any of three Sauk County women are served, make sure you attend. That’s because they placed in the annual dairy recipe contest sponsored by the Sauk County Home & Community Education (HCE) organization at the 2005 Sauk County Fair. The three finalists were judged on Sunday, July 17, at 1 p.m. at the fairgrounds.

The three finalists included: First place Nancy Liegel, Sauk City, with her Asparagus Ham Tartlets; Second place Arlene Marslender, Lake Delton, with her Chunky Cheese Dip; and Third place Barbara MacLeish, Baraboo, with her BT Cheese Buns. The recipe were judged for taste, appearance, creativity and the inclusion of two dairy products. For their efforts, the top three finalists each received a box of assorted cheeses from HCE as well as an apron and pizza cutter from the Sauk County Dairy Promoters, Inc.

To enter the annual dairy recipe contest, people must be 18 years of age or older as of January 1 and are a Sauk County resident. Entries must be printed or typed, with only one entry per person allowed. The contest category—such as appetizers, main dishes and desserts—is announced each spring and coordinated the HCE through the Sauk County University of Wisconsin-Extension, 505 Broadway, Baraboo.
