Country Christmas
Over the last twenty-five years of my publishing history, I’ve been asked any number of times to be a “celebrity” judge. (I’m using that word loosely!) I have enjoyed each and every opportunity. I was a parade judge one time in Port Orchard. That was great fun, especially when it came to giving the politicians a score. For two years running, I judged decorated Christmas trees for the Henderson, Nevada library. You should have seen the one a local casino donated, complete with Barbie showgirls, poker chips and play money.
This weekend I’m going to be a judge again—this time for the Port Gamble Country Christmas Fruitcake Contest. http://portgamble.com. Does that sound like fun or what? Who knew when I wrote There’s Something About Christmas that it would lead to this. I’m so pleased I included those fruitcake recipes in the book. As it happens, I love fruitcake. I can hardly wait.
Oh, and if you’re in the area, I’ll also be signing at Dauntless Bookstore, also in Port Gamble, starting at 3:30 p.m.
