The Dave Kearns Memorial Award

Dave Kearns, as most of you know was an active 4H leader. He took pride in his show kids and inspired so many. Dave never stood beside the ring with criticism but always with an encouraging word.

The Dave Kearns Memorial Award was inspired by who Dave was and what he stood for. The award will not got to the Champion animal or the Champion Show person, but to the 4H member who shows their love of showing, their animal and the 4H member who embodies all that Dave inspired in us. Sponsored by Dave’s family & friends

Baking Judges Tips
1. Size, colour, texture, weight, aroma, appearance and taste are all elements food judges use to make decisions.
2. Use only fresh ingredients.
3. Measure all ingredients precisely.
4. Check the oven temperature to prevent over baking or burning.
5. Cookies must be equal in size (3 inch in diameter), shape and appearance, bake them one sheet at a time in the center of the oven for even browning.
6. If quick breads or muffins, mix ingredients evenly, but do not over mix (too much mixing causes tunnels or holes to form inside and can coarsen the texture).
7. If batter, tap pan several times on counter to bring up air bubbles (prevents tunnels).
8. Read and observe the rules and regulations in the prize list (i.e. How many cookies or squares are needed?)
