10th Annual Buckaroo Dutch Oven Cook-Off Fundraiser!

Nevada Outdoor School celebrated our 15^th birthday as we hosted our 10^th Annual Buckaroo Dutch Oven Cook Off fundraiser this past Saturday, August 11^th where World Champions and beginners came to cook together like old friends!  This year we had 11 teams compete in four different categories including 4 youth teams with team Pickachu West winning 1^st place in the youth category with his delicious and well cooked enchiladas. Teams “Bill & Jane’s Wagon Train” and “Prairie Dogs” from Newmont Mining came in strong to compete with their tasty culinary creations to walk away with 1^st place in both the Bean Master and the (International Dutch Oven Society (IDOS) categories as well as the most coveted “People’s Choice” Award.
