EVENT SHOWCASE: Dove Fest Bake Off!

Do you have a recipe everyone asks you to bring? Is your pie the first to disappear at family gatherings? Or maybe you love decorating cakes and cookies just for fun.

Now's your chance to show off your baking skills!

We're excited to introduce the first-ever Dove Fest Bake Off as part of the 54th Annual Dove Fest. This friendly competition invites bakers of all ages to create their best homemade baked good inspired by America 250 or Dove Fest.

Whether it's a show-stopping cake, Grandma's famous pie, patriotic cookies, or your favorite family recipe, we want to see your creativity!

Awards will be presented for:
First Place
Second Place
Third Place

Winners will receive ribbons, Dove Fest merchandise, and—most importantly—some hometown bragging rights!
