I've noticed that all of my favorite events seem to revolve around great food, this time is no different. Who's ready for some amazing outdoor cooking? Do I see hands up? 

If you like your food cooked outside, over an open fire in giant iron pots, have we got an event for you to attend, the Texarkana Area Chapter # 278 of the Vietnam Veterans of America is once again hosting the "Wagons for Veterans" fundraiser to help local disabled veterans.

What's On The Menu?

Just about anything you can cook in a cast iron pot over a campfire.

The reason it's called "Wagons for Veterans," is because just about everything on the menu is fixed the old-fashioned way, in cast iron pots and skillets over an open fire, just like they did it on cattle drives of the old west. It's some of the best food you have ever stuffed in your face.
