Get out the casserole dishes...it's time to compete in the 6th annual PTO Auflauf Cook-Off! The hotdish to beat is Kordula Coleman's Tamale Pot Pie, which was awarded top honors by our judges last year.
Our celebrity judges will choose their favorite hotdishes in the following three categories: German Traditional (Auflauf), American Traditional (tater tots optional), and International (everything else). Once judging gets started, everyone will have a chance to dish up at this community dinner. Kids' buffet will open at 6:00 pm. After dinner, children can run off steam in the incredible play area!
The event sells out due to the venue's limited capacity, so reserve your spot without delay! Register below. Tickets on sale now until midnight on October 3, or until sold out. Ticket prices: $8 for adults; $5 for adults competing in the Cook-Off; $5 for kids ages 5 and up; free for kids under age 5.
