The Abundant Bounty of Arkansas
Sponsored by
Shewmaker Center for Global Business
Northwest Arkansas Community College
Registration and Gathering begin at 11:30 at NWACC.
For #AWBU 2014 Foodie Friday, we are channeling the inner farmer in most of us and celebrating the bounty available to all of us locally in Arkansas. We are very fortunate to have presenters who are tremendous supporters of our Arkansas producers, farmers and crops. They believe in utilizing the abundant bounty that can be found right here in our home state and demonstrate that belief by highlighting the use of that abundance in their menus, photographs and work.
Taste Arkansas also believes in promoting our Arkansas farms, farmers and products. We are grateful to them for supporting Arkansas Women Bloggers in our efforts to further tell the story of Arkansas and its bounty.
We also appreciate Great Day Farms and their sponsorship of one of our presenters, Heather Disarro.
This year we are fortunate to be utilizing the wonderful facilities of the Culinary Classroom, the Peterson Auditorium and the Tyson Kitchen at Northwest Arkansas Community College in Bentonville for our Foodie Friday event. With the availability of these areas and the excellent technology resources, we just know this is going to be the best one yet.
No, we are not including one of your favorite events from the past two years — the Iron Chef Competition, but I promise you won’t miss it. These presenters will peak your interest and curiosity while preparing you for the kitchen, the camera and the community.
So grab your gingham and denim, leave the hoes and weeds at home and come celebrate the Abundant Bounty of Arkansas. Ya’ll don’t want to miss this!
Did I mention that there will be food? As in nibbles.
