The Easter compositions were judged by a number of criteria, including aesthetics, design, naturalness and the use of regional elements. According to the competition committee, the standard of the entries was higher than last year. Among the traditional holiday motifs, chicks were by far the most popular, but there were also bunnies, lambs and decorated eggs. Krystyna Ilczyna from Bolesławice took first place unanimously with a beautiful composition made of eggshells among flowers. Two women shared second place: Elżbieta Pachołek from Rakowice and Elżbieta Lisiewicz from Otok. Four people took third place: Renata Boruckia from Kraśnik Górny, Wiesława Kruk, Rozalia Gajewska and Aneta Górka from Golnice.
The second competition was held at county level. Rural Housewives’ Circles from across Bolesławiec County came to Golnice. The women presented a wide variety of baked goods and culinary products. The competition tables were dominated mainly by eggs prepared in various ways, żurek soup, sausages, roast meats and stuffed pâtés. KGW Żeliszów took first place, KGW Otok and KGW Nowe Jaroszowice shared second place, while the Circles from Stare Jaroszowice, Kraśnik Dolny and Jurków took third place. The spectators, who could taste every dish, were also allowed to choose the most delicious one. It turned out to be stuffed liver prepared by KGW from Przejęsław.
Both competitions have been held for several years. Their organizers are the County Council of Rural Housewives’ Circles, the Municipal Culture and Sport Centre in Bolesławiec based in Kruszyn, and the Bolesławiec County Advisory Team of DODR.
