The Citizen, 2010-02-18, Page 7The Taste of Huron culinary
festival was awarded the top honour
in the Best New Event of 2009
category at the Ontario Economic
Development Awards.
The Taste of Huron event took
place across Huron County, from
Aug. 24-30 and was jointly
produced by the County of Huron,
Heritage Culture Partnership and the
Huron Tourism Association.
The Ontario Economic
Development Awards took place
Thursday, Feb. 4 at the Toronto
Marriott Eaton Centre Hotel.
“Huron is one of Ontario’s top
agricultural producers” stated Rick
Sickinger, Taste of Huron event co-
ordinator. “We wanted to create an
event to highlight the great food and
experiences that Huron has to offer
both locals and tourists alike.”
“This year, over 130 entries were
judged,” stated 2009 EDCO
president Lauren Millier. “The
competition allows local
communities to see just how they
stack up against other municipalities
when it comes to promoting
location, investment and tourism
opportunities.”
Many food-related festivals and
events take place around the
province and competition is very
high when is come to the best one.
“It is always an honour to accept
these awards as the competition is
very stiff,” stated Jenna Ujiye,
tourism marketer for the County of
Huron. “This competition result
demonstrates our effectiveness in
our economic development efforts.”
Judges reviewed all of the entries
that covered everything from
promotional brochures to
infrastructure development projects.
There are judges from specialized
areas of expertise assigned to judge
specific categories.
The Taste of Huron event has also
been nominated for the Premiers
Award for Agri-Food Innovation
Excellence which has a grand prize
of $50,000 and 55 regional prizes of
$5,000. These awards will be
announced in the next few months.
Taste of Huron took place at
different locations around Huron and
allowed for people from every
corner to take part in the event. The
2009 event highlighted local chefs,
producers and food, along with
dinners, workshops and festivities.
“We set this event up so that it
could continue on each year,” said
Brittany Fry, Taste of Huron
assistant co-ordinator. “Agricultural
events show one of the major
cultures of our community.”
The 2010 Taste of Huron Culinary
Festival is set for Aug. 20 - 29.
Details will be coming soon.
