The thrill of competition

I am excited to announce the First Baked Bean Cook-Off at the Kelley Library. We are hosting a cooking competition featuring that pre-eminent New England dish - baked beans. There are two categories that cooks can compete in - traditional from scratch baked beans and 'altered' beans which will feature creative changes to a can of baked beans. Prizes and ribbons will be awarded by our Blue Ribbon Panel of Judges headed by Fire Chief Breen. The event is scheduled for Saturday, February 20. Slots for competitors will be limited, so registration is required. Pick up a registration form at the library or print off our website starting Monday, January 18. Watch for details as the event approaches.
