The One Pot Cook Off: Chili, Gumbo, Stew, and More! 

Join us for the ultimate culinary showdown where the only rule is: if you can cook it in one pot, you can enter! The One Pot Cook Off is a delicious competition featuring three categories: The Snack Attack (Appetizers/Snacks/Side Dishes), The Main Event (Main Dish), and The Sweet Victory (Desserts). 

The Competition A panel of expert judges will taste and score every dish to award the coveted One Pot Trophy. But don't worry, you'll be a judge, too! With your tasting cup, you can sample as many creations as you can handle and see if you agree with the official winners. 

Raffle & Silent Auction Beyond the culinary competition, you can participate in a silent auction to bid on amazing items. And for a chance to win a fully stocked Booze Cooler, you can purchase raffle tickets for only $10 each. This cooler is filled with a variety of wine, beer, vodka, and tequila!
