Congrats to the Wards! Their food was very impressive, there were probably 7 pies cooked and the Ward's mixed berry pie really stood out. And their BBQ pork roast was beautiful. I'm glad they qualified for world's.

Thanks to Roger B, Kent Mayberry, and Todd Carter for all the hard work at the Utah State Fair.
