What's your favorite memory from WCTC?

So many great memories. We had a great class of students and teachers that really challenged us to get the most out of every day we were there. I took part in several ACF functions and various food and cooking competitions. I learned interesting elements of cooking, technique and being in some high-pressure situations.
