PARADISE COWBOY POETRY AND DUTCH OVEN COOK-OFF

Teams of chefs fire up their briquettes and compete to turn out the winning bread, main dish, and dessert. A cash prize and plaque are awarded for the best dish in each category. After the judging, all the food can be sampled for only $5.

The museum grounds open at 10:00 a.m., allowing spectators ample time to watch the cooks, try for a winning raffle ticket, and listen to the live music and cowboy poetry. There is plenty of food, cold brews for adults, and ice cream and soft drinks for everyone.

There is no charge for admission to this popular event. Proceeds benefit the Gold Nugget Museum and the Paradise Boys and Girls Club. Click Here for Entry Form
