The research isn't scientific, but Scandinavian Heritage Festival bread-baking contest chairperson Lisa Frame says bread bakers are among the happiest people.

"They always come with a smile as they submit their homemade signature loaves," she says. "But the real draw of the contest," says Frame, "is not necessarily for the competitors, but for bread lovers, who are welcome to sample the entries and even buy loaves of the bread."

Again this year a silent auction for the winning breads will be held. Those interested in entering the contest should bring half a loaf cut into one-inch squares for judging and sampling and at least one loaf to sell. There is $5 entry fee per person or family, with the proceeds from the sales of loaves going to support prizes for the next year's event. With the $5 entry fee a person or family may enter as many loaves as they desire.

The contest has five categories: white, wheat, specialty, Scandinavian, and junior (16 years old and under). Only yeast breads are permissible. Entries will be judged on appearance, texture, flavor, and overall appeal. A Bosch bread mixer will be

awarded to the top entry, with other prizes awarded to the top two breads in each category. Entries should be brought to the dining hall of the Greenwood Student Center on Snow College campus on Friday May 27th from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. Judging will take place at 4:00 p.m., with bread sales starting at 5:30 p.m. The announcement of the winners will be at 6:30 p.m. at the start of the Little Scandinavian Dinner.

	2010 Grand prize winner: Finnish Christmas Buttermilk Rye Bread.
