“They are all long time United Way volunteers and supporters,” said Patty Youngblood, executive director of United Way of West Georgia. “They also thought the prospect of trying out all those cookies was appealing.” The three – all men this year – will be featured along with the winners in the Dec. 7 issue of the Daily News.
The contest has been an annual event for more than 10 years with annual prizes valued at more than $1,000.
To enter the Daily News Cookie Contest:
n Bring a dozen cookies prepared from one recipe to the LaGrange Daily News office at 105 Ashton St. Entries will be accepted from 7:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Monday. Cookies received after the deadline will not be considered for judging, but will be consumed by news staff.
n To the bottom of the container, attach a legible copy of the recipe and include your name, daytime phone number and category you are entering: Decorated Cookies, Traditional Delights or Children’s Cookies. Children’s entries also should include their age.
n Adults may enter one recipe in each of the Decorated and Traditional Delights categories. Children up to the age of 16 years may enter one recipe in the Children’s category.
n Bring your cookies in a disposable container. None can be returned.
n Judges will choose the top cookies, with prizes awarded to each winner. Judging will be based on both taste and looks.
n Winners will be notified by the Daily News and they and their recipes will be featured in the newspaper’s Living Section on Dec. 7.
n Daily News employees and immediate family members are not eligible. Previous winners may compete again, but should not submit the same recipe as in previous years.
