MenuMasters Event Scheduled For Saturday Evening

(Le Mars) — This Saturday will be the seventh annual MenuMasters event as hosted by the Le Mars Educational Enhancement Project, or LEEP. The annual food-related festival will take place at the Plymouth County Fairgrounds inside the Century Hall and the Hall of ’15. Janelle Bixenman serves as one
of the co-chairs for the event. She says 24 teams of two will participate and compete this year. Bixenman says the food will be available between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

Bixenman says tickets are selling for $25 a piece. She tells of some of the businesses that will be represented during Saturday’s event.

Bixenman says the teams of chefs will again dress in costume, and design their booth space to go along with the food item they have prepared.

The purpose behind the evening of fun is to raise money which is used to help Le Mars Community educational efforts.

Bixenman says following the meal, awards will be presented to the teams with the best food, as well as with the best theme. After the awards presentation, a dance will be featured, along with a cash bar.
