Historical February 1987 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
If you are brave enough to subject your cookie baking skills to the scrutiny of Guy Phillips and Heather Frampton, the notorious KY98 Radio morning disc jockeys, you could become a winner. Phillips and Frampton will be Honorary Judges for the Second Chocolate Chip Cookie Bake-off on Friday evening, February 13.
They will be tasting all the cookie entries and may even help the winners “broadcast” their success. Neighbors familiar with the Phillips, Wall, and Frampton KY98 morning show can imagine what the evening might offer.
Everyone in the Skinker-DeBaliviere area who loves munching freshly baked, soft, chocolate-filled cookies and who waits with anticipation each month for the next issue of The Times, should mark his or her calendar for the 13th. Phillips and Frampton, the official judges and contestants will gather at Susan and Sandy Rothschild’s “old” home, 6208 Washington, to begin the Bake-off.
The only requirements to join everyone in the neighborhood for a great evening is a small donation of $10 per person to help keep The Times on the streets.
All of the proceeds will help pay the publishing costs of the newspaper.
And your contribution is tax-deductible, for whatever that is worth in 1987. You can still buy a judgeship and help decide the winners for only $25.
To become a judge, send your check to Susan Rothschild at 6208 Washington no later than February 9.
So if you have any baking talent, aren’t afraid of the heavy competition, and know which judges to contact in advance of the event, bring 3 dozen cookies with you and enter the contest.
The entry deadline is 7 p.m. Friday the 13th. Official judging will begin at 8 p.m., but our honorary judges will be tasting the entries much earlier. More entries will win this year since The Times is accepting both chocolate chip and un-chocolate cookies as entries.
The grand prizes for the chocolate and un-chocolate cookie winner will be cash in unmarked small bills plus other fun prizes.
And your photo will be in The Times along with your famous, winning recipe.
And don’t forget that without the Second Chocolate Chip and Un-Chocolate Cookie Contest Bake-off, this paper could not continue as the oldest and best neighborhood newspaper in St. Louis. Bring your family and your friends for a great evening.
