\nThe county food show offers 4-H members an opportunity to show off skills and knowledge gained in the foods and nutrition project. 4-H members submit their recipe and project information sheet prior to the show.

The Wharton County 4-H Food Show is held in October of each 4-H year.<\/p>\n

First, second, and third place winners in the junior, intermediate, and senior divisions compete in the District 11 Food Show in December. Senior 4-H members placing first at district can compete at the State Food Show in June.<\/p>\n
