A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who baked such a wonderful feast for the eye and the stomach,
to everyone who judged (and it wasn’t easy!), and to everyone who worked behind the scenes to make this event a great success (and lots of fun!): Deborah Ruesswick, Dane Schneemann, Rev. Telos Whitfield, and Paul Kranowski.
And a SPECIAL THANK YOU to Antonia Andreoli and the Lou Andreoli Family for providing the exciting and engaging music of “Atlas Soul” — whose eclectic music created a wonderful ambiance and brought lots of “judges” to Hastings Memorial Parish House Saturday night.
