Celebrate the Old Fashioned Lake County Fair This year we celebrate our “Old Fashioned Lake County Fair”. The fair has been a part of the community at various locations in Lake County since 1880. Even back then, this community event was about showcasing our local animals, agriculture, home arts and getting together friends and family, learning new ideas and the seeing latest greatest invention. We have been at our present location since 1948 and continue to showcase our local animals, agriculture, home and fine arts, floriculture and more. And getting together with family and friends is as important as ever.

Take a few minutes to look through our contest handbook and see the 1000+ opportunities to participate in various contests at the fair. On behalf of myself and the Lake County Fair Board of Directors, we invite you to join the many people who continue to showcase their animals and creative talents at the “Old Fashioned Lake County Fair”!

Sincerely,

Debbie Strickler Chief Executive Officer

1. Washboard Cookies 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 large egg 2 tablespoons milk 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened but still cool 1 cup packed light brown sugar 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut 1.

Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Whisk together egg and milk in a small bowl. With an electric mixer at medium-high speed, beat the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg mixture and beat until well combined, about 30 seconds. Reduce the speed to low, add the flour mixture and coconut, and mix until just incorporated, 15 to 30 seconds.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and, using floured hands, shape it into a 15-inch log. Flatten the top and sides of the log so that it measures 1 inch high and 3 inches wide. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 45 minutes. (The dough can refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 1 month.)

Adjust two oven racks to the upper-middle and lowermiddle positions and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator, unwrap, cut into 1/4inch-thick slices, and arrange the slices 1 inch apart on the baking sheets. Dip a dinner fork in flour, then make crosswise indentations in the dough slices. Bake until the cookies are toasty brown, 15 to 18 minutes, switching and rotating the baking sheets halfway through baking. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve.
