•	Free to enter a borshch
•	Ukrainian baked goods and souvenirs available for purchase
•	Separate categories for vegetarian borshch and meat borshch

About the contest:

It has been said that there are as many variations of borsch recipes as there are Slavic (and wannabe Slavic) cooks, so there aren’t any rules on ingredients or temperatures in this competition.

•	Borshch samplers will vote for their three favorites
•	Voting closes at 2 p.m.; winners announced at 2:30 p.m. (done in time for the Packer game!)
•	Winners of the best vegetarian borshch and best meat borshch take home the traveling trophies and bragging rights

TO ENTER THE BATTLE OF THE BEETS: 

•	RSVP to Luella on Facebook or 414-232-9582, ldooleymenet@gmail.com
•	Bring a large crockpot of serving-temperature borscht by 11:45 a.m. (bowls & spoons provided)
