The Sevier County Extension Office will hold the Sevier County Dairy Foods Contest on March 8, 2021 in the Adam’s Building on the UA Cossatot Campus. Dishes may be dropped off between 7:00 and 9:00 am. Judging will begin at 9:30 am.

The contest is divided into two categories: Main Dish and Party Ideas. Use of pasteurized milk and dairy foods are required (eggs, margarine, nondairy creamers, and nondairy whipped toppings are NOT dairy foods). Look for the “Real” seal on dairy packages. The “Real” seal is your assurance of a real dairy food. Each county may enter one recipe in each of the two categories for state competition. Students enrolled in 4-H aged 9-19 or in the 4th through 12th grades as of January 1, 2021 and living in Arkansas may enter. Home-schooled students may also enter. Entries must be approved by the county Extension agent.

Each contestant must agree to participate in the state cook-off if his or her recipe is selected for the semi-finals. The 64th Annual Arkansas Dairy Foods Contest will be held in Little Rock in the summer of 2021. This annual event is sponsored during June Dairy Month by Arkansas Farm Bureau and the Arkansas Dairy Cooperative Association.
