20th annual “Got Gumbo?” Cook-off in Review

We can finally answer the question. Yes, we "Got Gumbo" – at least everyone in attendance at our 20th annual “Got Gumbo?” Cook-off had their fill.

Thank you to the attendees, sponsors, judges, volunteers, and competitors who helped make this year’s event the most successful yet!

As always, the event is in good fun, but it supports a serious cause – United Way’s gumbo of services, which nurtures the health, education, and financial stability of every person in every community we serve throughout our seven-parish service area.
