The 2018 MRE Cooking Challenge at the California State Fair is less than two weeks away, and our Secretary wants you to be there for the fun!

Learn more about the MRE Cooking Challenge in this video invitation from CalVet Secretary Dr. Vito Imbasciani.

Please forgive us for the digital glitch. Poppy, the California State Fair mascot, seems to have intercepted our social channels and may have a mischievous plan for the challenge this year. Stay tuned …

Join us July 19th at the State Fair, California Building B, to see how chefs and veterans turn military rations into culinary delights for our celebrity judges. You’ll get to sample the food and receive some free swag from the California Military Department as well! Veterans and military families get in free.
