A cookie contest is returning to the Washington County Fair this year. Last year, the first cookie contest for chocolate chip and oatmeal was held. This year the contest will be held on July 22 on the Lion’s Stage behind the school house. Entrants can submit a plate of chocolate chip or oatmeal cookies with three cookies on a seven-inch white paper plate by 5:30 p.m. that day. Also, there are two categories: juniors for 10 to 18 years of age and adults. Cash prizes will be awarded. This year’s judges are Cheryl Kurtz of Golden Crest Realty and David Waite, manager of Fareway Foods.
