Crocktoberfest or BUST

Does your crockpot have a permanent home on your countertop? Do you walk through Target’s aisle of crockpots on display and think, “maybe it’s time to upgrade?” or “should I have two?” Or do you hear a coworker talk up their chili and think, “whatever, mine is waaaaay better?”

Then get your crockpot ready and enter the CrossFit Roots Paleo Crocktoberfest on Sunday, October 27th at 4pm! It’s your chance to be named “Roots Ultimate Crocktologist.” By doing so, you’ll follow in the footsteps of the great Crocktologists of past years and join the ranks of Wendy Ball (2011 winner) and Mary Alice Ashar (2012 winner).

To enter a dish and be eligible for the title of “Roots Ultimate Crocktologist” sign up on MBO HERE (there is no fee to enter but you must register as entry spots are limited!). There are entree, crocktail/beverage, and dessert categories. Doors open at 4. Judging commences at 4pm sharp.

Bring your family and bring your appetite, the entries are sure to be taste sensations.

For those about to crock, we salute you!
