Upcoming Meetings and Events

June	10th (SUN) Chester Country Mac & Cheese Cook Off The idea of the Chester County Mac-n-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 hope to have a lot of FUN and also raise money for Rotary Initiatives. We encourage our cook-off participants 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. Time: 12pm – 4pm • Rain or Shine Location: 1 Park Lane, Downingtown, PA 19335 Application due May 12th Contact: Autumn Katzenmoyer, Event Chair (484)885-6643 or email info@macncheesecookoff.com
