The Garden Club of Kent's monthly dinner meeting 

United Methodist Church of Kent

1435 E. Main St., Kent

COST: $16

RESERVATIONS  Email BackyardPest@gmail.com

The annual Garden Club of Kent holiday celebration, Snowflakes & Sugarplums, will be held on Monday, Dec. 16 at 6:30 p.m. at the United Methodist Church in Kent. Entertaining members will be the Kent Roosevelt High School Quartet, offering a repertoire of Christmas favorites.

THE ANNUAL BAKE-OFF CHALLENGE

Bring your best baked good and your sweet tooth to the meeting. Dessert will be made up of all the goodies entered into this year's bake-off challenge — Pies, Cakes, Cookies/Bars and Anything Goes (trifles, candies or whatever sweetness you bring that doesn't fit the other categories). First- and second-place award winners will be named. 

BAKE-OFF ENTRY RULES 

Desserts entered into the bake-off must be delivered to our meeting room at United Methodist Church between 4:30 pm and 6:00 p.m. on the day of the event. Desserts delivered after 6:00 p.m. will not be entered into the competition, but will be shared with attendees. 

Entrants are asked to pre-cut their desserts into sample sizes for sharing with the membership. 

RETURN OF THE UGLY SWEATER CONTEST

Remember: there is no such thing as "too ugly" in extreme sweatering. Dig deep in your wardrobe for your most ghastly Christmas sweater. The ugliest are expected to be out in full force this year — don't be left behind. First-, second- and third-place winners will be recognized. It's a shame you'll want to bear.

On the Dinner Menu  TBD meat and vegetarian options. Both come with an enormous number of dessert options prepared by fellow club members.
