FOODS/NUTRITION

 

4-H'ers must adhere to the following rules:

1.         Food must be of reasonable quality to keep more than a week.  Do not send food items that will spoil quickly such as casseroles, pizza, cream pies; items made with cream cheese, etc. 

2.         Submit food items on paper or disposable plates.  Plastic wrap will be removed so drying of the food will extend display life of the product and food items will be removed from plates and displayed as part of a bakery display.  Individual tags will be displayed separately
