The Southeast Camper Fall Dutch Oven Gathering is On! 10/05/2013

The Southeast Camper Dutch Oven Group would like you to join us at Kings Mountain State Park, South Carolina our Fall Dutch Oven Gathering on 10/05/2013.

We will be cooking and visiting at the Shelter #4, Continue past Shelter #1 into the next parking lot and we will be on the left. The park opens at 8 am and we plan to start around 9 am for a Meet ‘N’ Greet and make a few snacks for breakfast. We will have a Buffet Style Cast Iron potluck dinner at 4 pm.

This is NOT a competition, but a chance to show off (a little) with your cast iron cooking skills. Bring your favorite recipe and equipment to prepare your meal. We will share Good Food and Recipes at the gathering with our new friends for a day of outdoor fun.

We are the International Dutch Oven Society Chapter serving Central Piedmont of North Carolina and portions of the Midlands and Upstate of South Carolina.

All are Welcome, Stop by and say “Hello”. We look forward to meeting you.

Visit Southeast Camper’s Forum for updates. Please join the forum and let us know if you’re coming to cook with us or stopping by to visit.

There is an admission fee to the park – $2.00 for adults and $1.25 for children. (That’s a small price to pay considering what NC wants for shelter fees)
