The Old West will come alive this weekend when the 17th annual Col. Charles Goodnight Chuckwagon Cookoff will be held this weekend on the grounds of the Saints’ Roost Museum.
Fifteen wagons are scheduled to compete for top prizes, and other activities include raffles, a hay auction, and tours of the Museum.
Activities will begin Friday afternoon with the junior cookoff, which pairs kids, ages 8-17, with mentors on participating wagon teams to learn the ropes of cooking over an open fire.
Junior cooks will be preparing a dish for Friday’s Chuckwagon cooks’ dinner. The recipe will be left to the discretion of the cooks and their mentors, and prizes will be given to the first, second, and third place winners that night.
The big day for the cookoff will be Saturday when the ten wagons square off to battle for top prizes.
The tradeshow starts at 10 a.m., and museum tours by the CHS Junior Historians will be available throughout the day. The new miniature train display will be available for viewing from 10:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. in the Depot.
Local and area entertainers will also be performing, and relatives of Col. Charles Goodnight will also gather at the former Adair Hospital for their annual reunion.
At 12:30 p.m.,120 bales of alfalfa hay donated by Dan Sawyer Hay Service will be auctioned on the Museum grounds.
The authentic wagons will serve at 1 p.m. with the traditional chicken fried steak dinner, and other activities include raffles for a pair of Kevin Johnson Handmade Spurs and a pair of James Owens Handmade Boots and a hay auction.
Admission is free. Tickets for the authentic Chuckwagon meal are $15 each and can be purchased in advance at Every Nook & Cranny or Donley County State Bank or by calling (806)874-3581.
