Crazy Cooky Carrot Contest
Do you grow carrots on your farm or in your garden?
Be sure to keep hold of those wonky looking carrots and enter them for your chance to win!
Farmers and home gardeners alike are encouraged to enter.
All carrots will be judged by our panel and the one deemed most bizarre in shape and appearance will win!
Culinary Carrot Creation Contest
Do you enjoy cooking or baking?
Show off you culinary skills by entering a carrot dish into this contest. The only criterion is that it must include carrots as the main component of the dish. Desserts, side dishes, snacks, entrees, anything qualifies!
Bring your prepared dish to the event, which will be judged on site by our panel, and the winner will be announced during the afternoon.
