Biscuit Bake-off in Jefferson Park raise $1,000 for Georgia Firefighters Burn Foundation--UPDATE

Some 50 people crowded the basement of Jefferson Avenue Baptist Church for the annual Biscuit Bake-Off competition for the Georgia Firefighters Burn Foundation.  It was hosted by the East Point Woman's Club Saturday, Feb. 27.

Donations at the door, along with a  contribution from the East Point Women's Club, raised $1,000 for the nonprofit. Much of the money goes to the foundation's burn camp, that helps 100 young survivors of burns.

Nine firefighters from East Point, Rockdale County, Walton County, Fairburn, DeKalb and Roswell did their best to whisk up tasty biscuits. 

Taking home the top prize, which was an apron, was Keith White, a lieutenant at the Rockdale County Fire Department. His secret? Lard.
