Mmm. . .pumpkin bars and more in Watertown, S.D.

For the past year and a half, Watertown, S.D., baker Jane Skatvold has been baking pumpkin bars, cookies and other treats each Thursday for local firefighters. In a Sioux Falls Argus Leader article, Skatvold recalls how she received a message clearly after a 2006 event on Easter:

'God spoke to me to do something for the firemen,' she says. 'I absolutely had no idea what he wanted me to do. So I made a pan of bars.'

Well, the firefighters were overjoyed (who doesn't like banana bread, butterscotch cookies and more on a regular basis?). But firefighters aren't the only ones who benefit from Skatvold's tasty treats; she also regularly bakes for sick people, children in her neighborhood, and others.
