The recent Cookie Contest and Chinese Auction held by the Village of East Nassau to fund the Bell Park, former home of the Brainard United Methodist Church on Route 20, was a great success with twenty-seven cookie entries.
First place winner was Kim Curtiss of Brainard with her “Add Whatever You Want” cookie which is now the official cookie of the Village of East Nassau for 2015. All contest cookie recipes will be available in the form of a cookbook.
Also available is a limited edition commemorative Bell Park ornament at a cost of five dollars each. The ornament and the cookbook may be purchased at the December 7 breakfast at the Hoags Corners Firehouse, the December 10 Village of East Nassau Board meeting and the December 21 breakfast at the Tsatsawassa Firehouse in Brainard. You can also contact cookies@villageofeastnassau.org to request these items.
The Bell Park Committee expresses sincere thanks to the businesses and area residents who supported our first Cookie Contest and Chinese auction, and we look forward to making this an annual event.
Special thanks go to the Hoags Corners Fire Company whose newly renovated hall provided a wonderful venue for our event.
