PTO Auflauf Cook-Off & Community Dinner 

Get out the casserole dishes...it's time to compete in the 5th annual PTO Auflauf Cook-Off! The hotdish to beat is Steve Spencer's Venison Pie, which was awarded top honors by both our judges and attendees last year.

Our celebrity judges will choose their favorite hotdishes in the following three categories: German Traditional (Auflauf), American Traditional (tater-tots optional), and Rest of World (everything else). Once judging gets started, everyone will have a chance to dish up at this community dinner. Kids' buffet will open at 6:00 pm. After dinner, children can run off steam in the incredible play area!

The event sells out due to the venue's limited capacity, so reserve your spot without delay! Register below. Tickets on sale now until midnight on September 27, or until sold out. Ticket prices: $8 for adults; $5 for adults competing in the Cook-Off; $5 for kids ages 5 and up; free for kids under age 5.

The Cook-Off will be held at the Salvation Army Community Center at 2727 Central Avenue NE, Minneapolis. This is a nearly zero-waste, 99% recyclable, compostable event!
