apprehend this monstrous frybread.
"Frybread as BIG as your head"
Saturday, November 15, 2008
In conjunction with the Native Fall Music Fest at the Rose Bowl Event Center.
The 2008 World Championship Frybread Cook-Off was another big success. Thank you to everyone that came out. Once again, frybread master chef Janet Weryackwe dominated the cooking categories. What is her secret? The 2008 Cook-Off also enjoyed a visit by Indian Santa Claus! Instead of cookies and milk, Indian Santa came for the frybread and coffee and took wish-lists from all the kids. The Tulsa Indian Club would like to thank all our judges and competitors and we'll see you in 2009!
Pictures of Indian Santa, frybread judging as well as the gruesome reality of the frybread eating contest can all be found on the 2008 World Championship Frybread Cook-Off pictures page.
