Northern District 4-H Food Challenge Competition
Saturday, March 18
9:30 AM - 2:00 PM
Fauquier Fairgrounds
Youth in teams of 3 - 5 are given a set of ingredients and a clue as to what they can make with the ingredients. They then have 40 minutes to prepare a dish using those ingredients with additions from a "pantry" as well. During the 40 minutes they also need to prepare a presentation about the preparation, nutritional merits, and costs/serving of the dish, as well as food safety measures taken. They are only judged on their presentation and teamwork during the competition - judges don't have to taste the dishes. We are looking for judges and event support volunteers to pull this together. If you would like to serve as a judge, please include any qualifications you may have for the position (ex. registered dietician, career in food safety, etc.) All volunteers will receive an orientation before competitors arrive.
