A highlight of FRESHtival! held last week at the Upper West Fork Park was the judging of the Giant Zucchini Contest.

First place winner was Ashley Allen of Rosedale $25, second place winner was David Metheney of Chloe $15, third place winner was Jesse Allen of Rosedale winning $10.

The first annual FRESH!tival was held August 30 at the Upper West Fork Park in Chloe.
