Tickets are on sale for the 26th annual Col. Charles Goodnight Chuckwagon Cookoff that will be held Saturday, September 26, on the grounds of the Saints’ Roost Museum.
As one of the few cookoffs being held this year, the local event is attracting new participants from around the country. Sixteen authentic chuckwagons will compete for top prizes, and the day will also feature museum tours, a Western trade show, and live entertainment.
Although the Museum itself will be closed the day of the event, the grounds will be open that morning, and the meal will be served at 1 p.m.
Each wagon prepares an authentic meal over campfire with prizes being awarded in different food categories. Funds from the event, along with donations, allow the Museum to operate and provide quality displays, make improvements, and maintain its aging facilities.
The cost is $20 per plate, and tickets are available at Every Nook & Cranny or by calling the museum at 874-2746.
One generous donor through the years has been Sawyer Hay Farms, which donates alfalfa hay. Dan Sawyer is again making that donation, and the 200 square bales of hay will be auctioned off September 26. Those interested in being set up to enter a bid can contact any board member or call the Museum directly at 874-2746. The Museum appreciates Sawyer Hay’s support.
