March is Bake and Take Month
Giving a home-baked gift is a great way to show someone you care. And by doing so during Bake and Take Month in March, you might win a prize.
The Kansas Wheat Commission and the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers are sponsoring Bake and Take Month in March. They encourage everyone to celebrate by baking a product that is made from wheat or wheat products and taking it to a neighbor, friend or relative. The sponsors suggest attaching a note to each gift indicating who has presented the gift and that it is a part of the Bake and Take Month observance.
In addition, Kansas residents who write in to share their Bake and Take experiences by April 16 will be entered into a drawing for three cash prizes, courtesy of Stafford County Flour Mills. Visit the Kansas Wheat Commission website for more information and an entry brochure.
Bake and Take is an ideal opportunity for individuals to express their gratitude and show special friends that they care. However, organizations can also get involved.
It is an ideal community service project for youth groups such as scouts and 4-H clubs to honor local leaders, club supporters, the elderly or shut-in’s in their communities. Adult clubs and church groups can bake and take as well.
To enter the prize drawing, participants should e-mail kswheat@kswheat.com or write to Kansas Wheat, 217 Southwind Place, Manhattan, KS 66503. Include the following information: name, organization (4-H club, FCE, church group, etc.), phone number, mailing address, and description of the Bake and Take activity (baked goods made, any community service involved, who received the gifts and how many years they have taken part in Bake and Take). Entries must be postmarked by April 16, 2010.
Continue the longstanding Kansas tradition of Bake and Take Month by choosing your favorite baked item to share with someone special this month!
