UP Michigan remains largely unpolluted.
No pasties?
I’m guessing that “Ladie’s Day” was popular about the time that first recipe was popular — 1-3/4 sticks butter, 1-1/2 cups sugar! No wonder it tastes great!
Two weeks the Logging Congress is there.
Wont make it this year though. Lots of parties after hours at places in Esky. Lots of brawls also. You know...beer and loggers mix real well.
That fair is one of the better ones around. That and the Dickinson county fair at Norway.
The best one I know of is the the Sheboygan County fair at Plymouth WI. Used to be three to four beer tents and roasted sweet corn dipped in REAL butter, REAL brats done the way they are supposed to be done with kraut on them and all, served on hard roll hamburger buns-two in there at a time, Johnsonville is just a few miles from there, but there are better local brands IMO, and good hamburgers without all the FAT, and Old time German bands.

Mmm. Thanks for posting
The second prize dish caught my eye. I thought it said red potato salad, but there is nothing red in the recipe. So it must be the basket that’s red. In 1961 I lived in DC, in a huge rooming house, Hartnett Hall, in NW DC while attending an electronics school. Their Dining Room served the best potato salad I ever tasted. I think it was better than Mom’s PA Dutch style. It was red. I have never found any other potato salad that was even close. I think a lot of the red was from paprika. Oh how I wish I could find the recipe. It surely was from the Dc, Maryland, Northern Virginia area. So far, it has eluded me.
The potato salad sounds good.
