Local businesses received awards at the Wisconsin State Fair last week.
Every year, the State Fair features the Grand Champion Eats and Treats competition.
This competition is open to the state’s professional food businesses with yearly sales under $1 million and highlights mid to small sized businesses in the food processing industry.
This year, three local businesses brought home some hardware in the competition. The Luedke Bros of Sheboygan took second place with their bratwurst patty mix in the Mixing it Up category.
Gold Coast Candy in Appleton received a second in the Sweet Treats category for their ruby cherry almond toffee and a third place in the Sensational Snacks competition with their spiced orange pecans.
Finally, Black Sheep Culinary Arts out of Chilton took home third place with their bloom sauce and marinade in the Lip-Smacking Sauces category.
