They were Robert Vespestad (Lompe), Oge Forre (Pannekaker), Craig Weeks (Kumla), Solfrid Todd (Verden's Best Cake), Gloria Wilkening (Risgrot), Judi Nessa (Lefse and Kjottkaker), Joyce Tweedt (Kavring), and Rene Locker (Kringla). The line went out the door and down the sidewalk. We all had a wonderful time!
