The Alpine Township Historic Commission hosted its second annual "Best on the Ridge" Maple Syrup competition. The event was held at Alpine Elementary School on Baumhof Road. About 80 people showed up for the event which featured 14 entries. First place went to Boynton Family Sugarbush of Jenison. Second place went to Rasch Family Farms of Alpine Township. After the judging, the audience had an opportunity to do some sampling of their own with plenty of extra waffles and pancakes.
Special thanks go to Jeff and Linda Rueble for their great maple syrup production display and to Doris Kline for the Blandford Nature Center Display. Of course, special thanks also go to the judges and the 14 maple syrup producers. And thanks also go to Rick Cederholm for the teriffic pancakes, and Judy Ingersoll for her assistance in the kitchen.
