Fair announces 2010 food contest winners
They cooked, they baked, they barbecued – they conquered.
In keeping with what has become beloved – and fiercely competitive – local tradition, dozens of residents from Inyo and Mono counties vied for prizes and bragging rights at this year’s Tri-County Fair food contests.
Up for grabs in the Cookie, Shish Kabob Barbecue, Homebrewed Beer and Wine and Homemade Salsa and Dip contests were gift certificates and merchandise donated by area businesses, as well as ribbons courtesy of the fairgrounds.
The granddaddy of them all, the Pie Contest (Banana Cream in 2010), offered a train trip to the Grand Canyon. Following are this year’s results.
