Delaware DOVER, Del. - The 2nd annual Delaware Food Festival has been set for Friday, May 2, 1986 at the Hilton Hotel in Wilmington.

The featured foods will be dairy, poultry, mushrooms and potatoes, according to Bill Sammons, marketing manager with the Agriculture Department’s Marketing Section. “The main thrust of this year’s festival is on eating foods that are not only good ... but good for you,” said Sammons. “A home economist with the Delmarva Poultry Industry will demonstrate a new chicken recipe and offer suggestions on ‘Chicken for Healths Sake.’ “The American Mushroom Institute is providing a person to prepare Delaware-grown mushrooms in a way that most cooks probably haven’t thought of. The National Potato Board is arranging for a cooking demon stration on preparing nutritious potatoes, and we will round out the program with a nutrition con sultant from the Dairy Council on how to avoid osteoporosis,” Sammons said. In addition, representatives from the Pork Industry, Soybean Industry, Delaware Dairy In dustry, and Watermelon Industry will have booths set up offering free literature, recipes, samples and other promotional materials. Door prizes from many Delaware companies will be given away. They might even win a cash reward in the process.
