“Ready, Set, Start
Your Ovens,” this is what you will hear when the 4-H Cornbread Cook-Off gets
underway on April 27th at the National Cornbread Festival in South
Pittsburg, Tennessee.
Fourth grade 4-H Club members are invited to enter an original cornbread
recipe for the 2013 Youth Cook-Off which will be held at the National Cornbread
Festival in South Pittsburg, Tennessee the last Saturday in April.
Recipes must include at least one cup of Martha White Corn Meal or one
package of Martha White Corn Meal Mix and be cooked in Lodge Cast
Iron.
Recipes will be reviewed and 10 lucky finalists will be invited to
prepare their cornbread dish under the big tent at the festival. A
distinguished panel will judge the finished dishes on creativity, texture,
appearance, ease of preparation, appropriate use of products and of course –
flavor.
The first place winner will receive a $500.00 cash prize.
The 4-H teacher and 4-H agent of the winning student will also each
receive $50.00. The second place winner will take home $250.00 and
the third place contestant will receive $100.00. The remaining
seven finalists will each receive $50.00 and all ten finalists will receive a
gift basket of products from Lodge and Martha White. Also, youth
traveling more than 100 miles to the competition will receive $100.00 travel
money. Enter the nation’s premier bread baking competition.
Educational, competitive and fun!
