And can you fund the letter that is missing?<br />(To clear things up... I am also missing a "1/" for the wheat germ... it will read 1/2 cup. When I transfered the the recipe a letter was missing...

Literally everything stops as we celebrate harvest and community!<span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="http://www.westlampeterfair.com/">THE WEST LAMPETER COMMUNITY FAIR</a></span> is just what it's title says... it's all about the people! I bet almost everyone in my area attends the fair, participates in the fair, competes in the fair or helps in some way....<br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br /><br />I have had the honor of being a judge for the fair queen competition for the last several years. The fair queen contestants come from top-notch girls in the local high school. The competition is friendly but fierce over a two day period!<br /><br />The crown our queen wears is not for beauty... but for service! Our queen serves our community in many and various ways over the year she reigns... and is a role model. She is beloved and idolized by every little girl in town!<br /><br />My daughter had the honor of being the West Lampeter Fair Queen and then went on to the state competition winning the State Fair Queen tile... and Miss Congeniality! This was a life changing for Jacqueline .... it's value and breadth of experience helped to mold her into the young woman she is today!<br /><br />I hope the competition experience grows and stretches and matures each young lady competing this year.  I pray that each girl has a positive experience that they will always remember! That is why I am a part of it!<br /><br />The West Lampeter Fair is a real slice of Americana, for sure! If you live in the area... come on out... enjoy homespun fun and great local food... and be a part of my wonderful community for a day!<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Now, here's what's ON THE MENU...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">MONDAY</span><br /><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/stonegableprintablerecipes/stonegable-crab-cakes">STONEGABLE CRAB CAKES</a><br />Potato Souffle<br /><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/stonegableprintablerecipes/wedge-salad-from-stonegable-s-kitchen">WEDGE SALAD</a><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">TUESDAY</span><br /><a href="http://www.stonegableblog.com/2010/09/stonegable-killer-fajitas.html">KILLER FAJITAS</a><br /><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/stonegableprintablerecipes/slow-cooker-refried-beans">SLOW COOKER REFRIED BEANS</a><br />Mexican Salad<br /><br /><img height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fLkyr7mfDes/TJvFZbZ_iLI/AAAAAAAAGnA/ffU3VTYRSFs/s400/Copy+of+Copy+of+IMG_0168.JPG+2.jpg" width="280" /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">WEDNESDAY~ SLOW COOKER DAY</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://patspinkapron.blogspot.com/2012/09/slow-cooker-tuscan-chili.html?showComment=1348186921127#c6909070711175749599">SLOW COOKER TUSCAN CHILI</a><br /><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/stonegableprintablerecipes/antipasta-salad-from-stonegable-s-kitchen">ANTIPASTA SALAD</a><br />Crusty Bread<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">THURSDAY</span><br /><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/stonegableprintablerecipes/salmon-cakes">SALMON CAKES</a><br /><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/stonegableprintablerecipes/aunt-sue-s-macaroni-and-cheese">AUNT SUE'S MACARONI AND CHEESE</a><br />Sauteed Green Beans In Garlic Oil<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">FRIDAY</span><br /><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/stonegableprintablerecipes/red-chicken-from-stonegable-s-kitchen">RED CHICKEN</a><br /><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/stonegableprintablerecipes/sauteed-rice-from-stonegable-s-kitchen-1">SAUTEED RICE</a><br />Roasted Broccoli With Shallots And Cashews<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">SATURDAY</span><br /><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/stonegableprintablerecipes/roasted-pear-and-spinach-salad">ROASTED PEAR AND SPINACH SALAD</a><br /><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/stonegableprintablerecipes/grilled-balsamic-flank-steak">GRILLED BALSAMIC FLANK STEAK</a><br /><a href="http://www.stonegableblog.com/2011/11/muffin-tin-onion-gruyere-potato-stacks.html">MUFFIN TIN ONION GRUYERE POTATOES</a><br /><br /><img height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wbIQR9_IisU/TrxsXnS1uGI/AAAAAAAAOW8/ySnyFxNIlyg/s400/Title+Page+Muffin+Tin+Onion+Gruyere+Stacks.png" width="266" /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">SUNDAY~ SOUP DAY</span><br /><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/stonegableprintablerecipes/creamy-chicken-and-cauliflower-soup">CREAMY CHICKEN AND CAULIFLOWER SOUP</a><br />Cheddar Toast Sticks<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Here are a few of the MANY great participants from last week...</span><br /><br />Paula from CALL ME PMC made these delicious and very easy <a href="http://www.callmepmc.com/2012/09/oatmeal-cookie-and-cream-cheese-bars.html"><span style="font-size: large;">OATMEAL COOKIE AND CREAM CHEESE BARS</span></a> by "doctoring the box".
