“Woodring Wins State CowBelle Beef Cookoff”
Miss Robin Woodring, 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Woodring of Townsend, won the Montana CowBelles state junior beef cook-off at the state fair in Great Falls on August 4. Robin’s winning recipe, Cheeseburger Pie, was handed down to Robin from her grandmother. Robin will be a senior at Broadwater County High School this fall.
In order to compete in the State competition, Robin first had to win locally and then she went on and won at the District competition held in Three Forks this year. So far her winning recipe has netted her, not only first place spots but $150 in prize money. Ten Montana CowBelle districts were represented in the cook-off. Second place went to Mary House of Cut Bank and third was won by Debra Lee Leidhold of Miles City. Girls from Missoula, Glasgow, Shawmut, Great Falls, Wibaux, Laurel and Dagmar were also entered.
