Meal Plan! (updated 2/21)

Pre-ordered breakfast and lunch meals will be available on site both days of the competition, available to all, not just those staying at the ranch. A few walk-ins may be accommodated, but it's better to order in advance. Per meal price: $7.50; 4-meal package: $26.00. Vegetarian and gluten-free options will be available (those are by advanced order only). We will have the menu posted early next week so you can see what's included. Plus a link to order.
