will have a chance to see each other's ideas of place settings and centerpieces and to taste each
other's food. Each member will stay approximately 1/2 hour.
Each Participant has a 4' x 3' table space for their place setting.
Participants should NOT use any alcohol in the food they make and bring to the contest. This
is because participants are underage and cannot legally buy alcohol. Using alcohol to cook with
for 4-H isn’t allowed.
Please bring TWO copies of your recipe. One for the judge and one for a recipe book.
A 4-H club or member maybe be creating a cookbook with the Favorite Foods & Food
Preparation Contest recipes for their Jr. Leader Project! If you are interested in creating this
please contact Carolyn Ashton at (541) 766-3555.
Bring a Friend: Ask a NON-foods 4-H project member or NON-4-Her to participate in the Favorite
Foods Contest! This is open to all Benton County Youth! Sign them up at the same time you do, so you can
help them and support them. Give their name, grade level & phone number and your name as their host.
They will receive 4-H ribbons just like you! And maybe this will get them interested in signing up for the
foods project or joining 4-H in the future.
