Lil’ Mac is back! We’re looking for an amazing kid in our community to serve on our Cloverdale Cheddar Council — the official judge panel for Mac & Cheese Fest presented by Dakota Community Bank.

Joined by a collection of celebrities and food critics, our Lil’ Mac judge will put their mac and cheese taste buds to the test to find the BEST mac and cheese dish at the event. In 2023 at the inaugural Mac & Cheese Fest in Bismarck, our Lil’ Mac Judge Veda put our vendors to the test with her mac and cheese tasting skills.

Your Lil’ Mac will help select the overall winner, and NEW for 2024, they’ll present their FAVORITE mac and cheese vendor a Lil’ Mac Trophy that mirrors the coveted Golden Noodle award.

SUBMISSIONS TO BECOME A LIL’ MAC JUDGE HAVE CLOSED FOR 2024. APPLICANTS WILL BE NOTIFIED IN THE COMING DAYS IF THEY WERE SELECTED. THANK YOU!
