[Michlib-l] eNews from HSM: Michigan History Day Judges, Lemon Pie Recipe, Local History Conference, Upcoming Events

Fri Feb 16 16:48:34 EST 2018

Are you looking for a fun way to volunteer? Become a Michigan History DayR
Judge!

We need the help of educators and community members with an interest in
history to serve as judges at the Michigan History DayR State Finals
competition. 

The State Finals will be held in Bay City on April 28, 2018, at the Bay City
Central High School and will involve a full-day time commitment. The most
important quality for a judge is enthusiasm for interacting with students.
Judges should have a lively interest in history but do not need a
professional history background. 

HSM provides training for how to judge the History Day entries, and new
judges will be placed on teams with seasoned veteran judges to evaluate
participants' entries and provide constructive feedback to students.

Shaker Lemon Pie Recipe

The Shaker religious sect owned one farm in Michigan, near the village of
Berrien Springs. Lemon pie was a favorite Shaker dessert recipe and, like
everything Shaker, was simple:

Ingredients:

-two lemons

-two eggs

-two cups of sugar.

Directions:

Slice the lemons paper thin and macerate them overnight in the sugar. Beat
the eggs, stir them into the lemon mixture, and bake for 45 minutes at 375
degrees in a double crust pie shell.
