Events Committee: This committee will help coordinate events, such as info booths at farmers’ markets, special events, and the day of the Fair itself.

Anyone with an interest in interviewing previous contestants and writing profiles and recipe posts for the blog and newsletter are particularly welcome!

Contests Committee: This committee will be composed of subcommittees.
