(January 11, 2022 - Hour Two)

10:14pm - For the past 6 years, Smithfield fresh pork has run their "Grant Program" to help in the overall payout of the contests it supports. In 2022, the Smithfield Grant Program is back for its 7th year and will be supporting 24 events over the course of 2022. Joining me in the 2nd hour to talk about the program and also reveal (EXCLUSIVELY ON THE SHOW) which contests received the grants, is Associate Brand Manager, Jessica Efland! This will be Jessica's first time on the show, so we will get a bit of background on her, how she got involved with Smithfield, what Smithfield looks for in potential grant recipients, if there will be a "Committed Cooks Program" in 2022 and much more! If you are one of the hundreds of contests that applied for this grant, be sure to tune in tonight to see if you got one!!
