Courir de Mardi Gras & Gumbo Cookoff at Acadian Village

LARC's Acadian Village is opening its doors once again for its annual Courir de Mardi Gras and Gumbo Cookoff celebration, featuring local craft vendors, children's chicken chasing, and—of course—a good old fashioned gumbo cook-off. Gumbo at 11 am; chicken chase at 1 pm. Admission is $10 for ages thirteen and older; $5 for children ages four to twelve; free for children younger than three. Cook-off participants can enter for $50 per team by contacting Rusty Noel at (337) 257-0237. Details at LARC's Acadian Village Facebook page.
