Recipes must be attached to each dozen—one will go on record and one will go with the winning bidder.
Entries will be photographed and recipes will be recorded in a hardback book for the BW Area Historical Society and the Sunbury Community Library.
All recipes will be shared and reprinted along with photos, both in print and digital formats both immediately and in the future.
Contestants and the general public will have the opportunity to acquire the book of Sunbury Bicentennial recipes and celebrations.
Contestants can enter as many recipes/entries as they like.
Contestants may decorate their plates/platters. Decorations are not to exceed two feet in diameter or two feet in height.
All serving ware and decorations entered in the silent auction will become the property of the winning bidder. Accompanying serving ware and decorations for the sample/judging dozen will be available on site for pick up until 8:30pm on December 3rd. Forman Realtors is not responsible for serving ware that is lost or stolen. Please be creative in your presentation without putting your Grandma’s best china at risk.
