We thought the first bake-off was something to write home about. Here comes "bake-off number 2!"

"It's a baking contest where contestants bake something featuring chocolate; items are brought to the library and voted on by our special panel of judges to see who's made the best chocolate dessert," said Amanda Bennett, library director.

The contest is open to anyone. Simply enter by signing up at the library or call 419-634-5246.

A Dietsch's Brothers' suprise will be awarded to this year's winner.
