Salsa-making tasting contest planned for Cinco De Mayo celebration

 

April 20, 2018



A salsa-making contest is planned for the upcoming Cinco de Mayo celebration sponsored by the Spanish Club and Sigma Delta Pi. It will take place in Northwestern Oklahoma State University’s Ranger Room in Alva from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, April 26.

The contest is open to Northwestern employees and students; however, tasting is open to Northwestern employees, students and the general public.

Registration to compete in the contest will be accepted through April 23. There are two categories: mild and hot, and 10 entries will be accepted per category. Cash prizes will be given for first, second and third places.

Salsa-making contestants must prepare their version of salsa at home before the competition, name their salsa and promote it on a colorful poster along with a list of their ingredients next to their salsa bowl. Contestants must have a minimum of one half-gallon of salsa. Salsa will be judged based on consistency, appropriate heat level and taste.

For ticket information and to register for the contest and receive the official rules, contact Dr. Francisco Martinez, professor of Spanish, at [email protected] or Dr. Richmond Adams, assistant professor of English, at [email protected].

Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that celebrates the defeat of the French by Mexico at the Battle of Puebla. Mexican troops won the fight on May 5, 1862.
