Hillsboro Library hosting holiday treats contest
The Hillsboro Library is welcoming the holiday season with a special baking contest.
We had a cookie contest in May, and it was a huge hit. Everyone really enjoyed getting to show off their recipes—and, of course, getting to taste so many delicious cookies.
The Holiday Treats Baking Contest will be on Thursday, Nov. 7 at 5 p.m., with the winners announced at 6 p.m. Patrons who want to participate must sign up by Thursday, Oct. 31.
Patrons can make any holiday-themed goodie that they like. All ages are welcome to participate. Complete rules can be picked up at the library’s front desk during registration.
If you’re not a baker yourself, that’s totally fine. Come and taste some treats and help us to pick the People’s Choice winner.
We also want to give a big thank-you to our judges, which are ButterMilks Bakery and Tami Takes the Cake. We couldn’t do an event like this without them volunteering their time and expertise. We are so appreciative of them.
Prizes will be awarded to first, second and third places, as well as a People’s Choice treat. Bakers can both place and win the People’s Choice prize.
Winners will receive their choice of a baking set, which includes a potholder, spatula, Christmas cookie cutter and Christmas ornament.
We had so much fun with this in May, and we can’t wait to do it again, but with a holiday twist.
