2026 Cook-Off Chair Kim Sheese is excited to announce a special new addition this year—a Best in Show Award!

This meaningful honor is being introduced in memory of Chef Stephanie Godke (“Chef Steph”), our beloved Cook-Off Chair for many years who passed away earlier this year. Stef brought incredible talent, passion, and heart to the Rhubarb Fest, inspiring so many through her love of food and community. The Best in Show award will recognize one outstanding entry selected from all categories—a true celebration of excellence in her honor.

No pre-registration needed—just bring your best dish and be part of this sweet tradition.
