Chopped Cooking Contest and West on Warren Tour

Hello!


We hosted the Chopped Cooking Contest on Thursday, June 8, from 2-4 p.m., and the winners of the contest were invited to tour one of the local restaurants in Middlebury. This year's restaurant tour was held at West on Warren, which opened up recently.

Chef Jared Heath and his staff welcomed us to the restaurant. Inside the venue is a beautifully decorated restaurant, art gallery, bar, and patio area.  Chef Jared was also kind enough to take photographs with us!

Visiting West on Warren was a great way to start the week! Hope you have a terrific week! :)


Exciting Events at MCPL!

Hello!

We are almost halfway through the Summer Reading Club, and we have had some fun! Here are the highlights of the summer so far:


Chopped Cooking Contest 

This was a well-attended event with over 30 people! We had four teams compete for the highest scores on a beverage, on a pasta salad, and on a dessert. We also had three professional judges--two local chefs and a nutritionist--rank the teams. Everyone did such a great job!

Egg Drop 

This was an event that Miss Beth set up with the Middlebury Fire Department. Participants of all ages (including teens) packed uncooked eggs in a container. Then, the fire fighters collected the packages and dropped the eggs from a ladder. About half of the eggs dropped (we had over 40 participate) did not break.  This was a fun event to watch, and thank goodness, the weather held out.

Garden Pots and Pet Rock Painting 

We had twenty artists participate in this event. Participants chose pots and rocks to paint. We had a great time and I am happy to report that no paint spilled on the floor!

Thank you for reading! I will post more fun pics from our events this summer. :)

Black Light Party Pics!

Hi, 
The Summer Reading Club is underway.
We had ten people for the Black Light Party! We drew on white paper with highlighters, played  Glow-in-the-Dark Twister, enjoyed snacks, made glow-in-the-dark jewelry, and wore mustaches! (What is a party with out mustaches?)

Here are some photographs! Enjoy!
