It was winner take all on Wednesday night at Redskins Park when students from Loudoun County elementary schools came to demonstrate their culinary skills.

The Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation hosted an NFL Fuel Up to Play 60 event where students submitted dairy-based smoothie recipes to promote their partnership with the Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association.

Students from three Loudon County elementary schools came to Redskins Park to demonstrate their smoothie recipes and share them with a panel of judges, including Redskins Executive Chef John Mathieson.
