bake off contest

Kiwanis Club of the Helderbergs also held a Bake-Off competition for breads, cakes, cookies, pies and preserves on Saturday in the downstairs meeting room at the Knox Town Hall.  Thanks to judges ​Deb Barnes Breitenbach, Marty Herzog and Ken Briggs who evaluated the entries on appearance, aroma, texture and flavor.  The competition was stiff, with some of the decisions split among the judges.  Congratulations to Angelika Stewart for cakes and pies, Ginny Stewart for cookies and preserves, and Greg Town for bread.  And thanks to the other contestants who participated, and to the visitors who stopped by to enjoy the spoils at the end of the event!
