Fairgoers will have the chance to enter a favorite family recipe in the Greater Midwest Foodways Alliance Family Heirloom Recipe Competition at the South Dakota State Fair in the Women’s Building on Sunday, Sept. 1.
This competition seeks the best made-from-scratch family heirloom recipes suitable for a family or community dinner.
Assistant state fair manager Candi Briley says to encourage participants to delve deep into their family’s culinary history, submitted recipes must be at least 50 years old.
Registration forms and competition rules can be found on the South Dakota State Fair website under the special events tab. Briley says pre-registration is encouraged.
The judging will be based on criteria of 50 percent history, 40 percent prepared recipe, and 10 percent appearance and display. Prize money is awarded to 1st place through 3rd place.
