Our wild food cooking contest is always an annual hit.  We are continually amazed at the talent of our participants.  Sam Thayer sponsors this event and each year, someone is awarded the Rose Barlow Cooking Award in honor of our late wild food friend.

Friday’s dinner will be a wild food potluck featuring entrées, side dishes, breads, jams and jellies, desserts, and beverages contributed by all.  Wild food content is encouraged; in fact there is an award for the first place dish.

If you would like to enter your potluck contribution in the contest, on a 3x5 note card name your dish, include a list of all the ingredients in it, and set it with the dish. Do not include your name on the card. The dish will be judged based on the taste, % wild, and appearance. There will be an award for the first place dish.
