June 13: Crane Lake Dutch Oven Contest!
May 25, 2009 by Chris Fane
This year on Saturday, June 13th Crane Lake Discovery Camp will be hosting their annual Dutch Oven Contest at the St. Clements Park. There are TWO ways you can get involved and be part of the fun!
1. Entry into the Dutch Oven Contest
Last year we had 25 contestants and it was a great hit. My hope this year is to have 50+ contestants. All first time contestants will receive free entry into the contest. The cost is $10 for returning contestants. If you don’t have a dutch oven we can provide you with one. All you would have to provide is the food for whatever dish you would choose. There is a special category for first time contestants which is an open category (i.e.. it doesn’t have to be a dessert or main dish, whatever you choose). Teams of two are also welcome to enter if you have someone you wish to do this with. The time commitment would be from 2:30 PM to 5:30 pm.
(For those of you who don’t know what a dutch oven is… it is a heavy cast iron pot with a heavy lid. Food gets put in the dutch oven and cooked like a normal oven dish. Heat is added by piling hot coals on the bottom and top of the dutch oven and is controlled by how many coals you put on. Any dish such a French bread, stews, or apple pie, can be made in a dutch oven. We will have experts that will be available to help out if you need a few pointers or have questions.)
2. Purchase Tickets to the Fundraiser
The fundraiser is an enjoyable time to sit around, enjoy some food, and learn about what Crane Lake is doing. The cost for tickets is $15 for adults, $5 for 6-12 years, and free for 5 and under. There are many activities provided for children. If you are interested in tickets please get back to me and I can provide you with some. Email me at brian@lifechangeadventures.org
Thank you for all your support. Please pass this on to anyone who you feel might be interested or call/email me back with questions.
Cheers,
Brian Stubbs
