Rumsonite Luann Hughes: Irish Soda Bread Champ

Erin go Luann. She did it. Longtime Rumsonite Luann Hughes won herself a place in Rumson baking history with her first-place win in the 2017 Irish Soda Bread Contest at Oceanic Free Library.
The Thursday contest has become an area tradition and one of many prequels to the Rumson St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
Hughes, who hasn’t given up her ingredient secret, announced on Facebook her win and that she has become among the honorees who “get(s) to help carry the Rumson St. Patrick’s Day parade banner!!!”
She won third place last year. And in addition to the hometown baker prestige, not only did the first-place win this year come with the honor of toting the parade banner, but it also came with a festive four-leaf clover trophy.
Congrats, Luann Hughes! Will your secret ever be revealed?
