Get those pumpkin recipes ready ...
NORWICH – The Norwich Pumpkin Festival is almost here, and once again this year, you can look forward to a pumpkin baking contest, sponsored by Pro-Tel and the Soup and Sandwich Group of the Broad Street Methodist Church.
This year, the competition will include five categories: cakes and cheesecakes, cookies and bars, breads and muffins, pies and puddings, and the teenage category. Anyone who is 17 years old or younger can bake a dish from any category to be entered in the teen category. Each entry must include pumpkin, in some form, as the main ingredient.
To enter, bring your baked goods to the baking contest tent, located in the north-west corner of East Park, between 8 and 9:30 a.m., on Saturday, Oct. 28. All entries must be accompanied by a 3x5 index card containing the complete recipe and the name, telephone number and address of the baker.
A panel of four judges will rate the dish on a scale of one to five, based on the merits of appearance, taste, texture and originality. Judging will begin at 10 a.m. Once the judging is complete, the baked goods will be sold. All proceeds will benefit The Place.
Winners of the Bake-Off Contest will be announced from the Courthouse Stage. In each category, a cash prize of $25 will be given to the first place winner, and $10 will be given for second place. Third place winners will receive a ribbon. A grand prize of $50 will also be given to the person with the best overall dish.
Pumpkinfest will be held on Friday, Oct. 27 and Saturday, Oct. 28. The event will feature food, entertainment, a Halloween parade and fireworks. For more information, visit www.norwichpumpkinfest.com.
