Gooding County Dutch Oven Cookoff

It will be Saturday, December 3rd at the crossroads of Hwy 26 and Hwy 46. Everyone who wants to participate will make a main dish and side dish which can be breakfast, lunch or dinner. Also a dessert of some kind. Judging starts at 3 pm. The event is from 3 pm to 5 pm.
