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.
