Thank you to the Adams County community for supporting the annual Jr. Fair Beef BBQ! We are so grateful for the efforts of many volunteers which made this event a success!!! Many thanks to the OVCTC Culinary Arts, Ag Business and Ag Mechanics programs for their tireless efforts in making the Beef BBQ happen. Deepest thanks for Mrs. Foster, Mr. Rhonemus, Mr. White & Mr. Phipps for their amazing dedication to the event!
The barbecuing has begun! Hope to see you tomorrow to support the Junior Fair Beef BBQ!!!
The OVCTC Culinary Arts students have been very busy. They started the year with learning to prep food safely, identifying equipment and it’s uses. They are now preparing coleslaw, and baked beans for the Junior Fair Beef BBQ . Most of the seniors are already on early placement and have jobs.
The culinary field is very people oriented and can lead to a career with several options other than just fast food - careers like management for grocery chains, head chefs in hotels & restaurants, pastry chefs and working with health / nutrition careers. We try to explore several options of the foodservice industry because we are essential workers.
The OVCTC Ag Business & Ag Mechanics students have been busy splitting wood and digging the Beef BBQ Pit for 2020! Thank you to the county highway department for all of their help in making the BBQ a success year after year!
