For all those coming to the Johnson County Fair in a few weeks and hopefully entering our pie contest, here is a message from the Fair Board President

07/10/2025

For our Gluten Free Bakers, this is one of our partners for the Pie Contest. She will be at the Gardner Farmer's Markey today from 4 to 7pm or while supplies last.

Here is the menu for tonight's market. You might be wondering what a lavender haze cookie is?? It is a lavender honey cookie with pecans. On top, it has lemon curd and candied pecans. It is a new creation after my vacation on Route 66 last week!
