PAULA SKELTON - STATE FAIR OF TEXAS RECIPE WINNER 2009



               id you know we had a celebrity in our midst at Zoom
               Games? I didn't either until one day during Zoom Happy
        DHour. We  were  all  chit-chatting  and  the  subject  in  the
        Zoom Room turned to Oprah. As I am listening the conversation,
        I hear a voice pipe up, "I've been on Oprah!"

        The  room  went  silent  and  all  eyes  went  to  Paula  Skelton's
        screen. She told us the story of being on Oprah during the 2009
        Texas State Fair where Paula won the Best in Show for Chicken
        Spaghetti Casserole!

        We were all thrilled for her and very impressed. Congratulations,
        Paula! - Dan Price, Creative Director

        CHER CELEBRATES HER 74TH BIRTHDAY WITH A SOCIAL DISTANCE PARTY

        E     ven in quarantine, Cher had a great birthday!                                       etonline.com

              The music icon turned 74 on May 20th and was treated
              to a surprise party. Cher took to Twitter to share that she
        and  her  crew  celebrated  outside  with  masks  and  gloves  and
        made sure to social distance.
        "Hardest part, social distancing," she wrote, adding, "Not easy.
        Being outside helped."
        The "Believe" songstress added that there were a total of 10
        people and cake. "Hope we did it right. It's not easy, a million
        things you're used to doing that you can't do."
        Earlier in the day, Cher thanked her fans for being "the best."   "The Academy Award," the singer said of her 1988 win for Best
        "I can't believe I'm 'so' old and 'still crazy after all these years,'"   Actress in Moonstruck. "As [Paul Newman] opened the thing
        she  tweeted.  "I  can't  find  words  to  thank  you  for  all  you've   and pulled out the card I went deaf and, when he took a breath,
        [done] for me."                                        I thought, 'It's not because you don't need a breath to say Cher.'
        Cher has cemented herself as one Hollywood's biggest names.   And then when I won it it was one of the most thrilling moments
        With so many accolades and accomplishments, back in 2018,   of my life."
        Cher revealed to ET her proudest career moment.
