The 25th annual Tamarack Time was a success.

Event organizer Gretchen Gates said there were 450 food entries this year.

Sue Hansen, who volunteered at the bread and jams/jellies table, said this year’s event was the best in the last several years. The last two years had less than ideal weather, she said, but Saturday was a fine fall day.

Visitors who came all the way from Canada enjoyed the fall colors, crisp weather and tasty treats.
