Giant Cabbage Weigh-Off Limerick Contest – 2022
First Place – $75
Craig Schultz
Palmer, AK
There once was a cabbage named Bruce.
He entered the fair on a ruse.
He garnered first prize
And too late realized,
He was fodder for a bear and a moose.
Second Place – $50
Linda Salter
Eagle River, AK
The cold rain keeps pouring right down
Water fills every garden in town!
In the car I race
With my cabbage to place
At the fair big veggies are renown.
Third Place – $25
Rebekah Kitchin
Palmer, AK
The heftiest cabbage to sprout,
Was grown in a year of no drought.
Had to transport by air
All the way to the fair;
If it falls, it will make a big kraut!
