2008 Oregon's Best Contests
Oregon's Best Contests bring a dash of fun to County Fairs
and the Oregon State Fair. Sponsored by local Oregon
businesses, contests range from recipe contests that focus on a
specific ingredient to competitions that judge fastest times and
longest distances.
2008 Contests
Bob's Best Home Baked Bread Contest, sponsored by Bob's Red
Mill (PDF)
Every great baker knows that great bread starts with superb
ingredients. Start your recipe for this contest with Bobs Red Mill
flours, cereals or grains and you will be well on your way to baking
a blue ribbon loaf. Legendary miller Bob Moore uses century-old
French buhr millstones to mill his flours in a time-honored method
that keeps all the flavor and nutrition intact.

or dessert using your special blend of ingredients and one or more
of any of the delicious tasting cheeses produced in Oregon.

Growers (PDF)
Spit your way to fame by entering the Hermiston Watermelon Growers
watermelon seed spitting contest. Try out your best seed spittin

Down Home Favorites Recipe Contest, sponsored by FLAVRPAC and
Santiam Products (PDF)
We recall the aroma and taste of recipes that are special to each of
us, passed down from generation to generation. We learned how to
prepare these down home dishes from our families and friends.
Sometimes the recipes are hard to capture a little bit of this, a
splash of that. Conjure up your memories of these special comfort
foods, and prepare your favorite down home recipe using the fresh
taste of FLAVRPAC and Santiam products.
