No

No; the rule states that the menu card cannot

exceed 4 x 6 inches; it doesn’t mention the

frame

are making their own. Should they do this prior to the

They should do this during the demonstration

Can my student use a food processor if they bring an

extension cord?

Please remember that this event will take place in

the exhibit hall. As such, we are not sure how

close the electrical source will be. If it is close

enough, the student can use the electrical source

but this cannot be guaranteed.

judges at State or do the judges serve

themselves?

The competitor will plate the salad for the
