Get Your Grow On Cook Off & Community Picnic

2011 Urban Farms & Gardens Pre-Tour Event

Co-sponsored by the Garden Center Association of Greater Kansas City and Friends of the Library

Join other local foodies at a fun family picnic and cook-off at the Loose Park Pavilion. Bring your favorite dishes featuring local fruits, veggies, meat, and dairy to a community picnic. You can share your dishes with others (ala potluck) or just eat the food yourselves and brag about how wonderful it is to other picnickers!

And, for the truly ambitious amongst you, you can enter your dish(es) in one of these categories: Local Appetizers, Local Side Dish, Local Main Dish, Local Dessert and have your original dish be judged by Ethne Clark, Editor of the national publication "Organic Gardening," Gordon Roe, publisher, tastebud magazine, Kansas City's own eating-well magazine, and Mary Pepitone, writer of the Kansas City Star's beloved food column, "Come into my Kitchen." The winners and runners- up in each category will win fabulous prizes and get their recipes published in the 2013 Urban Farms and Gardens Tour Cookbook.
