WHAT IS A CREAM CAN SUPPER?

It’s an old fashioned meal of sausage, potatoes, corn, cabbage, carrots and onions cooked in authentic cream cans,
accompanied by rolls, sweets, lemonade, water and coffee. 
There are a variety of homemade desserts served, including bars and cookies baked by Board and Museum Committee members. 
 We also have churned on-site homemade ice cream thanks to Mike and Amanda (Watkins) Housel and family,
continuing on with David Watkins’ special recipe. 
Seating outside at the museum if the weather is good, as well as in the Machinery Building. 
Serving line will be inside. 
 If it rains, or is chilly, we will definitely still have the event!  Handicapped accessible either way! 
Handicapped parking is available close to the building, including an area set aside for buses or vans.
We’re doing it on a Sunday evening again because people seemed to prefer this when we tried it in 2024. 
There are so many Saturday events happening in Dunn County at this time of year – this way you can take in something on Saturday
 and still not miss the time to enjoy this meal and an evening to visit with friends and family on Sunday. 

You are welcome to visit the museum before supper; admission is free. 
Part of the Machinery Building may be blocked off due to food prep.

Recap of 2025 Cream Can Supper
We had perfect weather for this year’s annual dinner. 
 About 130 people attended this time of hearty traditional food and community gathering. 
Special thanks to the family of David Watkins for continuing to carry on the tradition of his delicious homemade ice cream,
to the cooks who worked all afternoon and evening to be sure the food was just right, to Craig Pelton for loan of tables and chairs,
and to all Museum Committee & Board members (along with family members!),
staff and other folks who pitched in many hours to help make this event a success!  
Info tables for Dauntless Dunn III and the Dunn County Genealogy Club were set up for people to check out.
Seating was available in the Machinery Building, as well as outside. 
 A Silent Auction was held in the Western Room with a variety of interesting items to bid on; we appreciate the donors! 
 Summer raffle winners were drawn at the end of the evening – see separate info on the home page. 
 A special thanks goes to everyone who attended!!
