The Manitoba Red Cross invites you to a disaster dining cook off tomorrow afternoon.

Local Red Cross rep Cherlyn Cain explains this event is a fun way to bring awareness to the need for everyone to be prepared for 72 hours in case of a disaster that affects our water and electrical supply.  She says she has teams lined up to do some basic cooking and they need to make a main dish and a dessert out of non-perishable ingredients and a one burner propane stove with a limited amount of water and their creations are presented to a panel of three judges who grade them on presentation, taste and creativity.

The competition gets underway at 1 tomorrow afternoon in the Walmart parking lot.
