There will be plenty of gumbo and chili for you to eat.  Food tickets are needed; food is included with your admission.  Soda and water will be available for purchase at vending booths.

Shirts and aprons will be available for purchase at our vending booths. All proceeds benefit the Regan Robinson Young Scholarship.

What is the People’s Choice Award?

The People’s Choice Award is your opportunity to select your favorite gumbo or chili.  Tasters vote for their favorite team by giving money to the teams at the event, $1 = 1 vote.  All money goes directly to the scholarship.
