Nutrition Quiz Bowl - Tuesday, February 10th - Kerrville

Contest and Learning Opportunity - If interested, please email Cory, this is a team event of 3-4 members of the same age division.

This contest helps participants increase their knowledge of basic nutrition, consumer information, food and kitchen safety, food preparation skills and storage, and nutrition and health. This contest will follow the rules and procedures listed in the Texas 4-H Quiz Bowl Study Guide, 4-H 3-2.030. The State 4-H Food & Nutrition Quiz Bowl Study Guide should be utilized for support information. These documents will be released by the beginning of September and will be posted at this website. If there are significant changes from the State FDRM unit related to NQB, we will update this letter and re-send to the counties after we receive the information. http://fcs.tamu.edu/youth/index.php#food - click under 2015 State 4-H Food & Nutrition Quiz Bowl Study Guide (PDF)
