Kitchens requiring more time to set up can coordinate earlier arrivals. Sunday will be a pack up day. This is an event that will put your kitchen to the test in a friendly battle of the rations. The goal is to provide period rations which the general public will be welcome to sample and vote for People’s Choice throughout the afternoon on Friday and Saturday. The competition will conclude with a judged competition on Saturday in a battle of the field kitchens. Judging will consider the quality of the food prepared as well as the quality of the kitchen display.
Field kitchen food receipts will be reimbursed, and each kitchen will have a donation bucket, with the proceeds of each bucket split 50/50 with MHPG and the kitchen which raised the money. We understand the effort and expense that goes into a field kitchen setup, so we hope this will help. We would like to represent military rations from as many eras as possible. If you think you and your crew have the skills and your kitchen display is up to snuff, this is your chance to display them and interact with the public in a way that connects them to the past through food. Plan on cooking and serving samples to the public on Friday and Saturday from 12-4pm each day. The event will provide disposable plates and utensils for the public. You MUST provide us with a list of ingredients that you are using (for allergen reasons) the week before the start of the event.

Please keep all food receipts, and turn in on Friday night so that you can be reimbursed at the event, or a check can be mailed to you.
