Salem Lutheran will be celebrating the culmination of the Starting Strong Appeal with a dessert-making contest. Its name, “Keep Your Fork,” comes from the story of a woman’s dying wish. When she was lying in her casket, she wanted a fork in her hand. When asked why, she said, “At the end of a meal, when the table is being cleared I knew that when told to ‘keep your fork’ this meant there would be a delicious dessert coming. At my funeral, I want people to know that the best is yet to come.” Click Here For The Whole Story 
 
The dessert-making contest is for all of Lake Mills and the surrounding area. Contestants will be vying for cash prizes which will be awarded in each of the three divisions: Junior Division (under the age of 18), Senior Division (65 and older), and the Open Division (all ages). First place winner will receive $100; second place - $50; and third place - $25.
 
The public is invited to come to Salem’s Fellowship Hall to view the judging and sample the desserts; enjoy a variety of live entertainment; feast on a dessert bar provided by Salem cooks; bid on contestants’ desserts and recipes; and cheer the winners at the awards program. A free-will donation will be received at the door.
 
Contestants will be asked to make two identical desserts for the event. One will be tasted and judged, the other (along with the recipe) will be offered to the public in a silent auction. The auction will conclude at 3:30 and the highest bidder will be awarded the dessert.
 
Lead judges for the contest are: Lynn Lair – chef, profession caterer and baker; Diane Brackey – owner of the Grand Café; and Kathleen Grundhovd – LMCS teacher of Family & Consumer Science. There will be two additional  judges for each of the divisions who will be local and area ‘celebrities.’ Musicians and entertainers are also being recruited at this time. Be sure to watch for a complete list of musicians and judges.
