The annual Fall Festival, with its accompanying Chili Cook-off and Best Cornbread competitions, will be held September 18, from 4 to 7 pm at the home of Mark Webb and Lee Smith at 3257 N. Pennsylvania St. Residents are invited to bring their favorite dishes and HMPNA will provide beverages and table service.
For those of you who have been perfecting recipes since last year, here’s your big chance to win the Golden Ladle or Cornbread Plate — HMP’s de facto trophies! The judges will NOT accept bribes nor will they be swayed by threats or taunts, so let’s keep it clean this year.
Those who wish to compete must deliver their dishes by 4:45 pm to be included in the competition. Each competing dish is given a number, so the judges are “blind” to the creator, but not to the creation. Newcomers to the competition are welcome (and encouraged) to compete.
