Boone County 4-H Queen Meredith Naber took top dollar for her cake in the 4-H Baked Foods Auction Monday evening at the Boone County 4-H Fair.
The chocolate chip marble cake with chocolate and white icing and chocolate drizzle was purchased by Jacque Clements, Republican candidate for State Rep. District 38, Boone County Commissioner Huck Lewis and Lebanon Mayor John Lasley for $1,100.
Because of all her responsibilities at the fairgrounds, Naber started the cake early, doing the baking and then freezing the cake on Thursday. She found time to ice it before the auction.
Naber may have won top dollar, but third runner-up Amanda Haney’s auctioning prowess took the cake when she made an offer to the highest bidder for her peach cobbler, after bidding stalled at $160.
"It comes with a kiss!" she exclaimed.
After the bidding reignited, she added a small caveat.
"From Tom (auctioneer Tom Dull), that is ... ."
Other members of the Queen’s Court auctioning items were Miss Congeniality Whitney Galvin, who sold an apple pie for $200 to Home National Bank; second runner-up Laura Lawson, who sold a Double Stuffed Oreo Cake for $200 to Home National Bank; first runner-up Erin King, who sold her homemade apple pie for $205 to Jacque Clements, and fourth runner-up Lindsey Nevitt, who sold somebody else’s baked good after learning her lemon bars had already been purchased while the queen and court were out for the nightly parade.
And, as for Haney, she sold her baked item for $180 to Blake Vogt. Vogt went to the front of the south tent to claim the cobbler, and the kiss.
From Haney, not the auctioneer.
