Colorful treats highlighted HCCA's first Holiday Cookie Exchange & Contest held on December 14th at the East Asheville Library. The kids decorated and the grownups exchanged cookies and everyone went home happy. 

Thanks to all who participated, with special thanks to firefighters Joshua Alonzo and Andrew Clyburn, who helped choose the winning entries.

• Best Tasting winner was Nancy Hyatt for her Frosted Hermit cookies. 
  
• Best Presentation was awarded to Ian and Patti Lawton for their Peanut Frosted cookies. 
  
• Most Creative went to Diane Coombs for her Kringle cookies.
