What is Auflauf?
Auflauf is the German word for casserole, or as Minnesotans call it, “Hot Dish.”
The Auflauf Cookauf is a hot dish competition in which TCGIS community
members enter their best casseroles to compete to win the coveted Best In Show

Trophy.  The three categories include: German Traditional, American Traditional, and International. Community members try a small serving of each entry to award a “People’s Choice” winner. There is also a Kids’ Buffet for the little ones with pickier palates.

Carnival Tickets will be CASH ONLY the day of the event, so please bring a few dollars for the carnival. Tickets will be 4 for $1, and games will cost just 1-2 tickets each.
