Will your young chef be in this Sunday's fun competition benefiting the Lemont Food Pantries??

Entries accepted up to the day of the 5th Kid's Cook Off will be held on Sunday Feb 12th at the Lemont Township Community Center 1-3pm.

For the 5th year the search is on for young chefs who would like to show off their cooking skills!!!
On Sunday Feb 12th, any and all youth from 5-18 years of age are welcome to register to participate in
the Kid's Cook Off benefiting our Lemont Food Pantries.

Please pre-register your young chef with the entry you can download from www.lemonttownship.org or email terri-oneill@lemonttownship.org for a entry and information to be emailed to you.

Each chef will have a station to present their entry for judging.
All chefs are to arrive at 1:30pm with their entry fully prepared (appetizer/salad, entrée, and/or dessert).

From 1:30-2:30 judging is open to the public for a $5 donation to the Lemont Food Pantries.
The young chefs will be present with their entry and answer questions posed to them by the judges. The judges have slips to rank three categories (preparedness, creativity, and taste) and the chef with the highest average points in each of the three age categories (5-8; 9-13; 14-18) will be announced as the 2017 Kid's Cook Off winner.

This has been a fun family event for the last few years that the kids, the judges, the special guest judges, and all of those who attended have completely enjoyed AND we raised much needed funds for those in our community who depend on the Lemont Food Pantries for assistance in putting food on their tables.

Parents and Grandparents can pre-register their young chef by returning the entry form via fax, email, mail or drop off to the Lemont Township Office Attn. Terri O'Neill-Borders (behind Chipain's)
