COUNTY FOOD CHALLENGE/FOOD SHOW Waffles, Pancakes, Layer dip, Chicken wraps, Chicken & dumplings, Hobo Soup, BBQ Biscuits, and Taco Soup! The Food Show and Food Challenge was December 29th at Enloe Community Center. We had eight Food Challenge teams and one Food Show participant. Following the judging, was the Cupcake War. It was a war alright, icing was coming out the bags all over, but it tasted great. We sampled the recipes and Mr. Berry cooked his big pot of chili for frito pie. Cupcakes were for dessert. I appreciate judges, parents/leaders helping make the day run wild but smoothly. Thanks!
