Plan your dish now for the Dutch oven cook-off. All entries will be shared during the Saturday night potluck which follows the judging.

Returning by popular demand the WPS Shop-n-Swap - Bring some items you would like to trade.

How does it work? A "trade" blanket it placed on the ground. One person starts by placing an item in the middle of the blanket and tells a story about the item.

Everyone has a chance to look at the item. If you would like to trade for the item, you place the goods you would like to trade on the blanket in front of you.

The owner of the original item listens as each person explains the items they wish to trade. If the owner wants to accept a trade they indicate which trade they would like to make and both parties say, "Good trade." If the owner, does not want to trade, they say "No trade," and then remove their item from the blanket.

Everyone then removes their items from the blanket. The process repeats with the next person and continues until there are no more items to trade or until the alloted time runs out.
