A sweet victory for Indiana! 🍑🏆 Congratulations to Rebecca Blystone, who took home the top prize at the Biscuits & Jampionship competition at the World Food Championships this past weekend! Rebecca earned her Golden Ticket to compete after receiving Best of Show for her peach jam at the Indiana State Fair. She was joined in the competition by her husband and sous-chef, Michael!

Even sweeter? This marks the second year in a row that an Indiana State Fair Culinary Arts exhibitor has won the competition! 🎉 Join us in congratulating Rebecca on this incredible accomplishment! 👏
