I know we have lots of creative Douglas County 4-H members and leaders and parents in Douglas County (cuz you have to be 18 or older to participate), so I thought of you when I saw this press release. And if any you make a decadent chocolate dessert, don't forget your friendly 4-H Communications Specialist!
"Create your most decadent dessert with at least one Ghirardelli baking product (chocolate chips, bars and/or cocoa), and up to 10 other ingredients. This chocolate challenge--now a five year tradition at fairs--rewards winners with cash prizes, gift packages and winning ribbons.
The most mouth-watering desserts win! All types and kinds of recipes are welcome, as long as they are full of chocolate flavor. First and second place entries win $150 and $50 respectively. The top three winners take home a Ghirardelli gift basket, plus a prize ribbon, apron and award certificate. In addition, one random contestant will win a Ghirardelli gift basket.
Entries are judged on chocolate taste (40%), originality/creativity (30%), appearance (20%), and ease of preparation (10%). Ages 18 or older may enter; limit one entry per person.
The contest will be held on Friday, August 28, 2009; registration is now open with an entry deadline of Wednesday, August 26, 2009. It costs five dollars to enter and entry forms can be found at http://www.coloradostatefair.com/index.php?page=competitive_special_contests or by calling the General Entry office at (719) 404-2080."
The Colorado State Fair runs from August 28 – September 7, 2009.
