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.
