Earlier this summer, 1,300 children submitted their favorite healthy recipes to Epicurious to compete in the second annual Healthy Lunchtime Challenge. Today, the fifty-four winners and their partent/guardian (one pair from each of the 50 states, plus three of the territories, and D.C.) are visiting the White House to join First Lady Michelle Obama for the Kids' State Dinner.
This is an exciting event, and one you won't want to miss – that's why we're livestreaming the Kids' State Dinner, including a special performance by singer Rachel Crow, on LetsMove.gov/Kids-State-Dinner. Make sure you tune in at 11:25 AM EDT today.
