Kings Mountain Dutch Oven Gathering – Spring 2012
Spring will be here before we know it. It has been mild, so far, this winter in the Carolina’s. As you might know, we have been accepted by the International Dutch Oven Society as the local chapter for the Charlotte, NC area. Our chapter is called the Southeast Camper Dutch Oven Group.
We will host our first Dutch Oven Gathering as a chapter on April 28, 2012 at Kings Mountain State Park in South Carolina.
The park is located six miles south on Route 161 off Interstate I-85, Exit 8. The Dutch Oven Gathering will be at Shelter No 1. This shelter has a fireplace along with restrooms and parking nearby. Please bring a log or two for the community fire.
We will gathering about 9 am, when the park opens for a Meet ‘N’ Greet. If you wish to cook breakfast and / or lunch would be great.
This is NOT a competition, but a chance to show off (just a little) and trade recipes. Bring your favorite recipes and equipment for preparing your meal. We will share Good Food and Recipes at the gathering with our new friends for a day of outdoor fun.
I hope you can find the time and join us. Please visit our forum for more details about our First Southeast Camper Dutch Oven Gathering. We hope to make this an anual event to be held on the last Saturday in April.
All are Welcome, Stop by and say “Hello”. We look forward to meeting you
