APRICOT TASTING … Get your stone-fruit game on and come to the inaugural Los Altos History Museum apricot-tasting contest. Community members, organizations and businesses can enter their apricot specialties in a food-tasting competition at the upcoming “Apricot STEM Fair” on Sunday, June 24 , from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Contestants may enter up to three categories: appetizers and preserves, entrees, and fruit and desserts. Judging will be done by a panel of local celebrities. Visitors to the fair also may join the tasting as a People’s Choice Judge by purchasing a $5 badge for each category at the fair. Winners will be announced at the conclusion of each judging period. The fair also will feature orchard-themed games, as well as Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) hands-on activities presented by local nonprofits and businesses. To enter the competition, contestants are asked to bring a plate of at least 40 bite-sized samples to the fair. For more information, visit losaltoshistory.org.
