Fort Towson Historic Site to Host Dutch Oven Gathering on May 30
FORT TOWSON, Okla. — The Fort Towson Historic Site will host a Dutch oven gathering on Saturday, May 30, from 9 a.m.-noon. The quarterly 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.
Cooking outdoors with a camp Dutch oven is as much about the process as it is the food. Guests at this event will see every part of the process, including lighting charcoal or fire, preparing the food and heat management. They will observe that each cook has their own favorite techniques, tools and unique style. Samples of the delicious dishes will be available at noon. 
Dutch oven gatherings are community-led events held quarterly at the Fort Towson Historic Site. All are welcome to attend, and cooks are urged to register to receive updates.
