Columbia, El Salvador, England, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Jamaica, Mexico, Phillipines, Spain, Sweden, and the United States were the countries represented. Junior Council President, Jackie Arpie served as moderator. Forty-two 4-H members prepared an international recipe which was displayed and sampled at the event.
