Gregory County 4-H hosted the annual Youth in Action Day Special Foods contest on March 1, at the Burke Civic center with fifteen youth participating. In a special foods contest, youth prepare either a snack or meal within a 90-minute time period and also must complete a nutrition interview and a proper place setting. Their dish must also fulfill a daily nutrient requirement from one of the five food groups: dairy, fruit, vegetable, protein or grain. This year, our 4-H’ers went above and beyond with some complex meals.
