‘An Evening of Mustard Royalty’ is unquestionably THE “don’t-miss” event…
On Friday night, April 29, 2011, beginning at 7:00 pm the National Mustard Museum will host it’s first-ever fundraiser. At the highly-anticipated An Evening of Mustard Royalty, the marquee event will feature the crowning of new champions as we present medals to the winners of the 2011 World-Wide Mustard Competition.
