Bakers needed for Simply Slavic baking contest
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — Those who have their own cultural recipes have the chance to win the baker's hat in the upcoming Simply Slavic baking contest.
The contest is for nonprofessional bakers to showcase their best baked goods. Wednesday is the last day to sign up for the baking contest, and entries must be submitted this Saturday for the judging, which is done in advance of the festival.
The contest accepts a wide range of items.
'There is no specific categories. So the category is Eastern European foods, so baked goods, so anything from the Croatians, the Poles, the Russians, the Ukrainians, anybody can bring some grandma's secret recipes that they're holding on to, and just bring it and share it with us,' said organizer Marta Mazur.
You only need to bake two items — one for Saturday's judging and one to be sold at the Simply Slavik festival, which is June 13 and 14. Winners will be recognized at the festival.
To sign up, call Marta Mazur at 330-261-4263 or email bakingcontest@simplyslavic.org

Saint Louis Zoo welcomes cheetah cub quintuplets
ST. LOUIS – The Saint Louis Zoo welcomed its newest animals last month. Five cheetah cubs were born on May 5 at the River's Edge Cheetah Breeding Center. The litter comes from the zoo's cheetahs Cora, 4, and Vader, 8. According to the Saint Louis Zoo, this is their first successful cheetah cub litter in seven years. They're nicknamed 'Cora's Quints.' Raising cheetah cubs is 'critical' in the first few months of their life, and they will stay out of the public eye for some time to bond with their mother. Care teams are monitoring each one via camera inside the den, but they say Cora has been an attentive mom. 'Each recommended cheetah birth is significant for the survival of this vulnerable species. Our dedicated Animal Care teams have been instrumental in these successful births from the pairing and introductions of Cora and Vader to the family's dietary needs, hormonal analysis for pregnancy monitoring, veterinary care, preparing a maternal den and so much more,' Julie Hartell-DeNardo, Kevin Beckmann Curator of Carnivores at Saint Louis Zoo, said in the release. Within the next few weeks, the cubs will receive their first vet checkup, which is where the doctors will learn the sex of each cub and name them. Cora and Vader, who arrived to the zoo last year, were paired together by recommendation from the AZA Cheetah Species Survival Plan. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
