The P.H. Welshimer Memorial Library’s 5th Annual Edible Books Festival, held on Monday and Tuesday last week, was a tasty success. This year we had ten entries from the Milligan community. 117 votes were cast for the Funniest/Punniest, Most Creative, Tastiest (judged by Library staff on Tuesday morning), and the Overall Favorite.
The winners, who each received a Dunkin Donuts gift card, were:
Funniest/Punniest: “20,000 Leeks Under the Sea” by Grace Jackson
Most Creative & Tastiest: “Around the World in Eighty Days” by Megan Lincoln and Justin Athey
Overall Favorite: “Madeline” by Lindsay Kenderes
Two other entries of special note were:
“Dante’s Inferno” by Kaitlin Campbell, which was a Humanities Creativity Project entry, and
“The Interpretation of Dreams” as a group entry by the Psi Chi Psychology Honor Society.
On Tuesday morning the doors of the Welshimer Room were reopened to invite taste sampling by the Milligan College community. By late afternoon almost everything was consumed. The leeks were avoided, but even some of that sea blue Jell-O had been tasted!
