Great Plains Bison-Tennial Dutch Oven Cookoff On Food Network

Here's a message from Camp Chef:

The Food Network will soon air the Lewis & Clark commemorative cook off. What a good time we had in Yankton! I was the head judge at the event, complete with a massive Bison hat. Be sure to tune in. Many of the teams cooked in Camp Chef Lewis & Clark Dutch ovens. It was really an amazing event. Ed Quinlan

YANKTON, SOUTH DAKOTA PREPARES FOR SMOKE & FIRE
GREAT PLAINS BISON-TENNIAL DUTCH OVEN COOK-OFF PREMIERS ON THE FOOD
NETWORK --"ALL- AMERICAN FESTIVALS" SHOW DURING NATIONAL BISON MONTH

The Food Network has announced the premier showing of the Great Plains Bison-tennial Dutch Oven Cook-off on the All-American Festivals show. The premier is scheduled for Monday, July 25, 2005. The Food Network/Food TV is broadcast on cable and satellite stations throughout the world. Check your local cable company listing for the Food Network's channel listing.

John Pauly, Coordinating Producer for All-American Festivals stated "The Cook-off will also have the distinction of being the last premier of the All-American Festivals series."

The Great Plains Bison-tennial Dutch Oven Cook-off features historic cooking and recipes prepared in Dutch ovens that could have been enjoyed by travelers visiting the Great Plains over 200 hundred years ago. Bison is the featured entree because the buffalo was the primary source of food for our ancestors. Today’s Bison rancher raises the same high quality product that was enjoyed so many years ago.

Festival Chair Heidi Henson stated "It's really exciting to think that the Dutch Oven Cook-off is about to be featured by the Food Network all over the world!" "We look forward to welcoming visitors and Cook-off participants to this years sanctioned International Dutch
Oven Society event on August 27th and 28th."

July is National Bison Month and this is a perfect opportunity for you to enjoy the unique way of preparing bison and the great recipes by our Cook-off contestants. We hope the Yankton, South Dakota community and the entire state are as excited as we are and tune in to watch the premier showing on July 25th.
