The talents of local cast iron chefs will be on display at the Fort Towson Historic Site, with each person setting up their outdoor kitchen and preparing delicious treats. The event will be a time for Dutch oven enthusiasts to gather, demonstrate their skills, and introduce the public to the joy of outdoor cast-iron cooking. Registration is required for those who plan to participate in the cooking activities.

Cooking outdoors with a camp Dutch oven is as much about the process as it is the food. Guests at this event will see every part of the process, including lighting charcoal or fire, preparing the food, and heat management. They will observe that each cook has their own favorite techniques, tools, and unique style. Taste samples of the delicious dishes at noon.
