Chairman of the Flathead County Fair Board Doug Wise, Flathead County Sheriff Brian Heino and community member Courtenay Sprunger served as the judges and spent several hours sampling entrees, desserts, beverages and more.
“Judging the entries was a lot harder than I thought it would be,” Wise said.
Other winners in this year’s competition were:
Second Place: Farm to Table Ice Cream, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip with Sea Salt Caramel Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich
Third Place: Chick-fil-A, Frosted Peach Lemonade
The Northwest Montana Fair and Rodeo continues through Sunday, Aug. 21 at the Flathead County Fairgrounds.
