Isabel Hogg with her prize-winning shortbread.

At the Spokane, Washington, Scottish Highland Games in early August, Isabel Hogg of Kimberley won two of the top three awards, first and second place, in the Traditional Scottish Shortbread competition, keeping up a family tradition of producing very good shortbread. Her mother, Liz Davidson, a very competent producer of Scottish shortbread, would be very proud of her daughter. In Isabel’s first year of entering the judged contest last year, she placed second in the competition and determined to compete again this year and try for first place. She surpassed her expectations with two awards. Those who attend her husband’s annual studio art show can attest to how good her shortbread is as Isabel always has shortbread on hand for all who attend the exhibit.
