The Exeter Senior Center celebrated National Zucchini Day
this year with their own Zucchini Festival.
Exeter Senior Center board member Julia Polak had broached
the idea with the Senior Center board this year and received a positive
response.
There were a variety of activities to celebrate the fruit
(yes, they are a fruit and not a vegetable). Baking was judged, there was
an art contest created with zucchini and of course the ever popular zucchini
race (wheels were inserted on two sides of a zucchini and they were released
down a slope).
The zucchini dessert competition was won by Brenda Motis and
Sharon Dyer took first in the bread and muffin category.
Participants were also able to make cars and race the cars
down a slope. Doris Hall zoomed into first place with her zucchini wagon
(it was reported that her zucchini stayed on the ramp the longest) and in the
zucchini decorating contest Polak took first in the favorite character
division.
Zucchini Festival winners hold their
trophies. Pictured from the left are Brenda Motis, Doris Hall, Sharon
Dyer and Julia Polak holding her minion zucchini.
