“Get Outta Town” is your guide to weekend events in 11 State of Jefferson counties. Experience some of the events that the North State has to offer. This week’s A News Cafe “Get Outta Town” highlight is the 3rd Annual Dutch Oven Cook-Off in Weaverville.
Trinity County’s Dutch Oven Cookoff is hosted by the Trinity County Historical Society. Proceeds benefit a special Historical Society fund. The public is invited to taste and judge the “gold rush” themed dutch oven culinary creations in three categories: main dish, bread and dessert. Judging is based on theme, beauty/order, visual impact and creativity.
Visitors to the Dutch Oven Cook-Off can venture across the street to the Salmon Festival at the Highland Art Center and a blacksmithing course at the Jake Jackson Memorial Museum.
