The Sharbot Lake Farmers Market held their second annual Buttertart Challenge on Sept. 3, which drew 11 entries. The butter tart is a truly Canadian dessert, an ooey gooey delight that was invented in the 1900s in Barrie, Ontario and has a huge following of connoisseurs. The honour of judging the challenge was highly coveted, with one unnamed judge having actually begged for a spot! Each judge had to consume three full butter tarts in total, which left the delighted crowd with the rest! Believe us when we tell you, there were a lot of delighted testers and appreciative commentaries throughout the entire crowd! The winner of the coveted “Best Buttertart in Frontenac County” award was Karen Schonauer of Ardoch. Second prize was won by Kim Perry of Food Less Travelled in Verona, and third prize went to Guy Leger. Soon we will have to have our own butter tart road map to visit the many talented bakers in the Frontenac region.
As well, Natsuki Ono's name was drawn as the winner for the SLFM Kids' Word Search.
