June 9, 2019 -- Voting Hours 12pm - 3pm -- Rain or Shine -- Park Lane & Pennsylvania Avenue, Downingtown, PA
The event will include local restaurants, businesses, organizations and hometown cooks competing against each other for the title “BEST Mac-n-Cheese in Chester County”. The community will be asked to pay a $10 per head entrance fee ($5 for kids ages 6-12) to be able to sample each participant’s dish. A panel of judges will judge each mac-n-cheese dish, as well as the public will vote for People’s Choice and Kid’s Choice winners.
Cook-off starts at 12pm and mac & cheese will be served until 3:30. Victory Brewing beverages will be served and music & games will run until 4pm in the park.
As Rotarians, we are asked to fulfill a responsibility in vocational, community and international service. Every year, we try to come up with new ways of getting our name and mission out into the world all while raising funds to accomplish the goals of our club and Rotary International. Every year, we support several new projects in addition to our 12 annual projects.
The idea of the Chester County Mac & Cheese Cook-off originated from the idea of holding an event that promotes the use of local food products and encourages sustainable agriculture, while bringing awareness of what’s available in the public’s backyard.
We encourage our cook-off competitors to visit our local artisans/farms (visit www.buylocalpa.org/chester for a complete listing) so to include local artisan’s products in your tasty dish! Contestants using local farms will be specially recognized at the event.
