McDonald's What We're Made Of Contest

See a list of 2011 winners and their essays

For the third year, Oregon Ag Fest is expanding its annual two-day event to include a special educational and fun activity day for fifteen winning Oregon and SW Washington fourth grade classes.

For a chance to be one of the fifteen classrooms, students entered the “McDonald’s What We’re Made Of” essay contest sponsored by Oregon Ag Fest and McDonald’s of Oregon and SW Washington.

The idea behind the contest is to get students talking about the products that are grown and raised locally, in addition to what is unique about the food and fiber grown in their area.

Winning entries were selected the first week of April.  Winning students receive a certificate, a portion of bus transportation costs* to the special Ag Fest event on Thursday, April 28, 2011, materials for the day, and snacks at the event. Activities for the day include creating living necklaces, a source relay, mini-pedal tractor relays, Get Fit with Ronald Show, a variety of farm animals to pet, and much more!

McDonald’s of Oregon and SW Washington is comprised of 140 franchised restaurants owned and operated by 26 owner/operators.
