Baked goods auction leaves yummy taste

| October 1, 2018

COSHOCTON – The annual baked goods auction held on the opening evening of the Coshocton County Fair brings together a great group of bakers and those that enjoy what they bake. This year was no exception as the bidding was frantic and over the average, especially for the cakes. Nanci Rogers paid $60 for the Best of Show Hickory Nut cake baked by Pamala McMorrow. Local auctioneers give of their time and talent to move things along as cakes, breads, rolls, cookies, muffins and more are all auctioned to help raise funds for continued improvements and maintenance of the art hall. Pictured is Jackson Rawe, the 4 year old grandson of Dan and Jan Uher, who is ready to enjoy a chocolate cupcake that only took a few seconds to auction and then make it from the box to his waiting mouth. “He loves chocolate cupcakes,” said Dan. Jackson is the son of Jackie and Scot Rawe.
