Huckleberry treats wanted

Pies, cookies and more will be available for sampling during the 40th annual Huckleberry Festival dessert contest next weekend. The contest is set for Sunday in the Trout Creek Park.

Prizes will be available for children and adult bakers and organizer Sandy Green said participants may enter more than one dessert in the contest. Entries need to be at the green building in the park by 1 p.m. on Sunday. Following the judging, there will be tasting plates sold with a sampling from each entry.

All entries must include huckleberries but cannot contain ingredients that must be refrigerated, such as dairy products, eggs or cream or custard fillings.

Entry forms for the dessert contest are available on the Huckleberry Festival brochures available at local businesses, or online at http://www.huckleberryfestival.com.
