Campground Cookoff

The first Campground Cookoff in South Carolina will be held September 19-21, 2008 at the Calhoun Falls State Recreation Area on Lake Russell. Three nationally known celebrity judges -- Rick Browne from PBS Barbecue America; Dotty Griffith, the former dining and food editor for 30 years at the Dallas Morning News and Charles Mattocks aka "The Poor Chef" seen on NBC affiliates -- will choose the winners of the South Carolina Old 96 District Campground Cookoff. The categories will include: the best appetizer, entree or dessert prepared over a campfire of charcoal or wood. The food must be prepared from scratch. Cash prizes of $500, $300 and $200 and other in-kind donations will be awarded for first, second and third place winners. Applications must be received by August 15, 2008. The award-winning recipes will be compiled into a cookbook available online after the Campground Cookoff.
