High Country River Rafter's annual Dutch Oven Cook-off is back, and Meredith Russell is hosting us once again at her property just north of Erie. Whether you're a seasoned cast-iron chef or a complete novice to Dutch ovens, this event is for you! Join us for a feast as we share the best of outdoor cooking.
From savory Dutch oven pizzas and appetizers to those legendary bubbling fruit cobblers, there’s always something incredible to sample. Not a cook? No problem—just bring your appetite and enjoy the spread!
Come for the food, stay for the fun! Meredith will have bocce ball and other games set up, and everyone is welcome to visit with her horses and chickens.
🐾 Dog Policy: Leashed dogs are welcome. Please keep them on a leash at all times to keep the chickens safe!
