Chuck Wagon Cook-Off
Due to the current Covid-19 crisis the Eleventh Chuck Wagon Cook-Off has been cancelled this year.
We will begin working on the event in the new year and look forward to bringing you the sights, sounds and tastes of the Old West trail rides once again.
Stay tuned for updates on one of Chandler's "Signature Events."
Stay well and safe.

The Chandler Chuck Wagon Cook-Off is one of Chandler’s signature community events, as well as one of the largest chuck wagon cooking events in the Southwest. Festivities take place at Tumbleweed Ranch, where attendees have the chance to experience a rare, up-close look at Western history and are transported back in time with chuck wagon competitors wearing period dress, using period equipment and cooking methods as if they are on an 1880's cattle drive.This is a culinary experience unlike any other being done in the Valley. It is an homage to the Old West, outdoor cooking and the original food truck.
The Pardners of Tumbleweed Ranch, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, with the support of the City of Chandler, Chandler Museum staff and a cadre of volunteers, make this event possible.
