Only a few days are left to enter the Leader Holiday Recipe Contest for a chance to win a cash prize.
Jefferson County and Eureka residents,both young and old, are invited to submit a recipe to any or all of the following five categories: appetizers, soups, salads, side dishes and desserts, but no more than five entries per reader. Recipes that are family favorites or that have a history or story attached are preferred.
The deadline for submitting recipes is 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 15.
A finalist will be selected in each recipe category and will win $50 cash. Then, judges will choose the overall winner, who will receive an additional $50.
As many recipes as space permits will be published in the Nov. 24 Leader Holiday Gift Guide.
Unfortunately, the Leader Holiday Dinner has been put on hold for another year due to COVID-19 restrictions on the Jefferson College campus.
Recipes may be submitted by email at news@leaderpublications.biz; by mail at P.O. Box 159, Festus, 63028; or in person at 503 N. Second St. in Festus.
For information, call the Leader at 636-931-7560.
