2nd Annual Banana Bread Bake Off

Members of the public are invited to bring their homemade banana bread to Grandpa Shorter’s Gifts between 9 AM and 11 AM on the day of the event. There will be a $15 entry donation to the Manna Food Project, a local nonprofit dedicated to fighting hunger in northern Michigan. And each participant will receive a $25 gift certificate to Grandpa Shorter’s stores as a thank-you for entering and donating. Judging will begin at 1 PM and will be conducted by a panel of three judges, including at least one professional chef. Prizes will be awarded to each category winner and an overall winner.

In addition to the bake-off, festival-goers can enjoy
banana-themed fun, including:

• Themed giveaways and displays at participating downtown businesses.
• Refreshments and yummy treats.
• Opportunities to shop, dine, and explore everything Petoskey has to offer.
