The Chandler Museum hosted the first annual Chuck-Wagon Cook Off at the Tumbleweed Park in Chandler, Arizona. This inaugural event featured western entertainment with live music along with many frontier events. Kids had the opportunity to ride horses, hay rides, learn about candle making or weaving as the chuck wagons from across the nation came to competed in this cowboy cooking event.

Rocking RR Chuckwagon is an authentic 1890 Perkins Grain Wagon built in Perkin, Illinois. Owners Susan and Russ Richins purchased the wagon several years ago and had it fully restored by Glenn Moreland of Texas Cowboy Outfitters at Fort Davis, Texas.
