It’s officially summertime, so that means it’s time to
Rethink Your Drink!
Rethink Your Drink is a campaign to educate the community
about the added sugars in sugar-sweetened beverages. It also encourages and
promotes water consumption.
The Network for a Healthy California, First 5, and the
Department of Health and Human Services – Public Health are teaming up to host
an infused water contest at the first Farmers Market of the season. Come check
out our booth on June 2nd from 9am-1pm and sample our contestants’
infused water. The official judging will commence at 10am. Our panel of celebrity
judges include Mayor Katherine Murray, Robin Patch (City Clerk), Ron Phillips
(Farmers Market Manager), Chelle Webb
(founder of Bouncing Berry Farms), and David Finigan (County Supervisor and
First 5 Commissioner). Now that I have announced the judges, please keep in
mind that bribing our esteemed panel will result in immediate disqualification.
This promises to be a fierce competition, with intense rivalries
already forming. We have entries from individual community members, like Angela
Glore and Chad Hegelmeyer, who take their infused waters VERY seriously. Or
will an organization or community group, like Ferment Del Norte, First 5 Del
Norte, 4-H, or CHANGE take home the prize? Come find out at 10am when our panel
of judges will decide which water trumps them all.
