What would happen if your power in your home went out ? How would you FEED YOUR FAMILY?

The answer is with a "DUTCH OVEN" . . . What is a "DUTCH OVEN" ? A very old and versatile tool; something your grandmother probably had more than one of.

Learn how easy and resourceful a Dutch Oven can be. We will demonstrate how to start a fire (outdoors, of course) without matches ; then cook a full 3-course meal.

Join us for a fun and tasty way to prepare for an emergency situation. You'll taste how good and easy cooking with a dutch oven can be. Samples will be served!

Donation : $10pp / $15 couple
