Brownie Battle Back on at Kentucky Fair | Louisville News

Last year’s Kentucky State Fair baking competition went ribbon-less for brownies—so high were the standards, no one could meet them. This year? Forty-nine entries doubled from last year’s twenty-five, and overall culinary entries jumped ten percent. The fire was lit: bakers like Keri Filsinger say last year’s snub pushed them to step up. And this year’s winner? Roxanne Hayes of Louisville, who took home the blue ribbon again after skipping last year—calling it deeply meaningful to her and her family. Second place went to Jeanne Fass, third to Reuben Hankins, both also from Louisville. The brownie battle is back—and fiercer than ever.
