4-H Favorite Foods Contest – 2015
Favorite Foods Contest
Sussex Technical High School
Saturday, February 28, 2015

54 young chefs & bakers traveled to the Sussex Technical High School on Saturday, February 28, carrying a prepared recipe and place setting.  All were excited and some a little nervous to showcase their foods knowledge and cooking skills.  Each contestant was interviewed by a judge who had critiqued their recipe and menu in advance. Judges sample, evaluate the prepared dish and award a ribbon to each participant.   Division winners are selected and all attendees are invited to sample the array of foods.  It is always a day of fun, education, new experiences and fellowship!
