Cooking tonight? It’s not too late to enter Community Picnic recipe contest

There will be prizes tonight for the culinary winners who enter the recipe competition at the “Get Your Grow On!” Community Picnic and Potluck, held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Pavilion at Loose Park, 51st Street and Wornall; the event is part of this weekend’s Urban Farms & Gardens Tour.

“We haven’t gotten as many recipes as we would like so far,” says volunteer Bonnie Winston, who encourages local cooks to bring their favorite dish (it needs to serve at least five people), plus a printed recipe and, maybe, a serving spoon, to the Loose Park Pavilion no later than 6 p.m. There’s also a $10 entry fee.
