For those of you who did not win the last giveaway, I have another one! And this time there are 5 pairs of tickets involved.

Remember last year when I wrote my post about attending the Foster Farms Regional Finals? It was a lot of fun. I got to watch the finalists cook, taste all the recipes, meet the contestants and their families, meet the judges, and vote for the audience favorite. Well this year’s California Regional Finals is almost here.

And I have five pairs of tickets to give away to the event, so that my readers can also watch the cooking competition first hand and try all the samples.

The Contest will be held at The International Culinary School at the Art Institute of California – San Diego (7650 Mission Valley Road, San Diego, CA 92108) on Friday, September 7, 2012 9:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Yes, it’s on a Friday which can be a problem for those of us who work, but it’s over by noon so you could take just take the morning off work

Judges this year are: Christine Ross, editor San Diego Union-Tribune, Lori Lange, blogger of RecipeGirl.com and Susan Russo, blogger of FoodBlogga.com.

The top five contestants from CA will go head-to-head for a chance at two $1,000 Regional Finalist prizes and a spot in the final competition at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in St. Helena, Calif. on Sept. 28. The winner of the Finals will receive a $10,000 grand prize and a one-year supply of fresh Foster Farms chicken.

My giveaway will end on Tuesday August 28, 2012 at 5pm. I will choose 5 numbers using random.org. I will then contact the winners via email and they need to respond within 24 hours. Each winner is allowed to bring one guest.

Here’s how to enter:
