Outdoor cooking class at Mississinewa Reservoir, April 17

Indiana DNR Release:

An outdoor cooking workshop will be offered at Mississinewa Reservoir by Upper Wabash Interpretive Services on Saturday, April 17, at 10 a.m.

The program includes hands-on instruction and tips by the Kokomo Kookers Dutch Oven cooking club. Participants will cook and eat their own lunch, and could win door prizes from Bozarth Country Store.

Program fee is $10 per person. Space is limited, and advance registration by calling (260) 468-2127 is required. After lunch, participants can swap recipes or make a charcoal starter to use on future meals.

“Participants will find it easy and fun to cook in a Dutch oven over the campfire,” said Teresa Rody, interpretive naturalist for the UWIS. “I’m sure that some will take the opportunity to camp the weekend and try their hand at a few more campfire meals.”

Mississinewa Reservoir’s DNR office is located in the Miami State Recreation Area west of U.S. 31 on 500S. It is 8 miles from Peru, and 30 miles from Logansport and Kokomo. From Wabash, take Highway 124 to Miami County Road 675 East for a 15-mile route to the program.
