WHAT IS A CREAM CAN SUPPER?

It’s an old fashioned meal of sausage, potatoes, corn, cabbage, carrots and onions cooked in an authentic cream can, accompanied by rolls, 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 hope to have homemade ice cream thanks to Mike and Amanda (Watkins) Housel and family, continuing on with David Watkins’ special recipe.  Serving and seating outside at the museum if the weather is good.  If it rains, or is chilly, it will be moved inside the Machinery Building, but we will definitely still have the event!  Handicapped accessible either way!  As you know if you attended in 2024, the Machinery Building has a new concrete floor and there’s much more space for tables and chairs than when we set up inside the museum on rainy days in the past!  We’re doing it on a Sunday evening again because people seemed to prefer this when we tried it last summer.  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 2024 Cream Can Supper
We had perfect weather for this year’s annual dinner.  About 200 people attended this evening of hearty traditional food and community gathering.  Special thanks to the family of David Watkins for carrying 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!  And thanks to all who attended!  Info tables for Dauntless Dunn III, Dunn County Genealogy Club, and Museum programs were set up for people to check out. Seating was available in the Machinery Building, as well as outside.  This was the first year we were able to offer the option of dining inside in a more spacious area, thanks to the new concrete floor in the Machinery Building.  We’re looking forward to next year!
