It's time for 4-H'ers to get out the apron and warm up the oven for the annual 4-H Baking Contest, which will be held at 4-H club meetings in March. The Baking Contest has been a traditional favorite over the years. This year, 4-H members will make different types of cookies depending on their grade level.
Specific categories are listed below by grade level: 4th graders should bake chocolate chip cookies; 5th graders should bake sugar cookies; 6th graders should bake peanut butter cookies; 7th – 12th   graders should bake a bar cookie.
The contest will be held at students’ schools, on the day of the schools’ regular 4-H meeting.
To enter students should submit three of the baked items on a paper plate. Included with the entry should be a card with the recipe neatly printed on it.
Entries will be judged on appearance, texture, flavor and the recipe card.
The top entries from each club will be given blue award certificates and be invited to the 4-H County Bake-Off, on April 5, at Pigeon Forge High School.  
More details on the baking contest can be found in the February 4-H Newsletter or preview it online at sevier.tennessee.edu  
4-H opportunities are available to all 4th – 12th grade young people in Sevier County, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex or disability.  If you need more information about 4-H opportunities, please contact Glenn K Turner at 453-3695.
