Events

The Amercian Chuck Wagon Association encourages participants to preserve this important part of American History through educational and competitive events that involve setting up camp, cooking using authentic Old Western tools and showing their restored or replicated chuck wagons.
Those interested in competing are encouraged to review the judging guidelines to know what is expected at these fun-filled events. Please stop by the chuck wagon cookoff event results to see a list of winners from past events.
