Cake and Egg Contest Winners Announced
While the social portions of the Poultry Days Festival were canceled
and chicken rescheduled to August 14-16 several events adapted.
In this part of the world we believe keeping traditions alive is
important. Two Versailles traditions are the annual Egg Exhibit
and Cake Contest. Instead of delaying these events for a year the
Versailles Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center which is the organizer
of the contests, awarded honorary prizes for 2020.
The Cake Contest has been conducted for as long as anyone can remember
and involves baking an angel food cake with strict adherence to a
recipe handed down year over year. With a grand prize of $11 this
event is about the prestige of that blue ribbon and not the
riches. For 2020 first prize was awarded to the newest business
in Versailles, The Pie Hole Bakehouse. Representatives of the
Rehab Center and Poultry Days readily consumed the winning cake and
deemed it superb. Accepting the first prize ribbon for the Pie
Hole was owner and baker, Cathy Yant.
We want to congratulate The Pie Hole Bakehouse on their award and thank
them for their support. The festival continues to maintain our
local traditions with both the Miss Chick and Little Miss Pageants
being held in 2020. If you haven’t yet, please consider placing
an order for bulk chicken at versaillespoultrydays.com or purchasing
individual dinner tickets at Johns IGA, Second National Versailles or
the Versailles S&L. All orders for bulk chicken must be
placed by August 7th. Poultry Days will be following all local
and state guidance while assembling and distributing chicken dinners as
it relates to the health and safety of our guests. Reach us at
vpdchickenline@gmail.com with questions or visit
versaillespoultrydays.com for details. Supporting summer
fun for 69 years.
