How-to Enter the Hotdish Cook-Off and Dessert Contest

Make a hotdish and/or dessert. Our cook-off/contest is a fun event.
Are you known for an hotdish or special dessert? Bring it!
Do you love cooking and sharing what you make?
Show off your chef or homecook skills!


How It Works:
•  Fill out an entry form (either download the form or do the online form.
•  Print and bring the form with you (if you download the form)
•  Bring a hotdish (we highly recommend to make it in a crockpot - so that it can be kept at a safe and servable temperature) and/or dessert. If you bring a dessert that needs to be kept cold, please plan accordingly (we are unable to provide ice, etc.).
•  Check-in day of the event.
•  Every attendee gets a vote. Additional voting is done with donations ($1 = 1 vote - it's a fundraiser! :) )
•  Winners get announced at the end of the evening.
