Fort Towson Historic Site to Host Dutch Oven Gathering
FORT TOWSON, Okla. — The Fort Towson Historic Site will hold an event called “Dutch Oven Gathering” on Saturday, March 22, from 9 a.m.-noon. The event is FREE for participants and guests. All are welcome to participate in this informal event.
The talents of local cast iron chefs will be on display at the Fort Towson Historic Site, with each person setting up their outdoor kitchen and preparing delicious treats. The event will be a time for Dutch oven enthusiasts to gather for fellowship, demonstrate Dutch oven cooking skills and introduce the public to the joy of outdoor cooking in cast iron. Registration is required for those who plan to cook.
For anyone who wants to learn more about the art of Dutch oven cooking, this event will be the perfect time to watch and learn.
“We’re looking forward to the sharing of knowledge and ideas that comes when people cook together,” said Calista Stephens, Fort Towson Historic Site director. “Everyone uses their equipment differently, and we’re sure that guests will be inspired to try new things.”
