Blue ribbon recipes

I had never been to a county fair before moving to this town (which happens to be the county seat) 20 years ago.  They really are very charming events, especially all of the 4-H and open class cooking, baking and sewing competitions. Our newspaper always publishes the winning recipes (which is equally charming, I think.)  I'm not a big baker myself but, if you are, you might want to try some real winners.
