Leap Day Bake Off!
Leap Day, Feb. 29th, only comes once every four years.
What better way to celebrate than with a bake off!
How does it work? It's simple... if you like
to bake, bring your best. If you like to eat, show up
for the tasting party at 2 pm in the library (Tawes B3).
All are welcome!! There will be all kinds of baked
goods, including low-fat and sugar free selections, so there's
no guilt. Everyone will get to vote for their favorites,
as well as learn about library services, meet your librarian,
and socialize with your DNR colleagues.
If you would like to submit a baked good,
please email your recipe to
awheeler@dnr.state.md.us before the day of the bake-off.
Drop off entries in the library by 1:30 pm on Feb. 29th. Entries baked by spouses or significant
others are accepted. All kinds of baked goods are accepted.
