There will be a 15-minute intermission and a "fabulous food finale" at the end of the show.

All attendees are eligible for door prizes and will receive a gift pack with a complimentary 68-page Spring 2005 Taste of Home Cooking School Cookbook that includes all of Tuesday's demonstration recipes plus coupons, brochures and samples.
