Page 88 2023 LOGAN COUNTY FAIR LINCOLN DAILY NEWS JULY / AUGUST 2022 2023 LOGAN COUNTY FAIR Wednesday, August 02 By Matt Boutcher The dairy and culinary judging was held at the Logan County Fair on Tuesday, August 2nd. This competition involved many baked goods, but excluded most cakes, snack food, and candies. Foods in those categories will be judged on Friday. This competition also included goods that were canned. The event kicked off at 10 a.m., with the judging of the baked goods, and ran until about 1:30 p.m., with a short break for lunch. The judging of the canned goods was done afterward, running until a bit before 3 p.m. At the start of the event, Marcia Greenslate, Department O Superintendent, welcomed everyone and explained a bit about how the judging was going to be conducted. She also informed the crowd that, while no official count of the number of entries is kept, this year may have had more entries than any other year prior. The judge for both the baked goods and canned goods was Jamie Jones. Jones, a resident of Mount Pulaski, is also the coordinator for the Lincoln Memorial Hospital Market held each Saturday at the fairgrounds. As the judging began, there were a lot of moving parts. The baked goods had to be moved to the judge’s table, unwrapped, marked (if that good won), rewrapped, and then moved off the judge’s table to make room for more. Deb Allen, Judy Haseley, Kelly Haseley, Linda McCuan, Sarah Dahmn, and Marcia Greenslate all made sure this process ran smoothly.
