Red Beans ‘N’ Rice Cook-Off

If you’re from Louisiana, you know that red beans and rice is a Monday tradition. United Way will be celebrating this tradition for a good cause at their annual all-you-can-eat Red Beans ‘N’ Rice Cook-Off in the Northshore's Greater Covington Center. Proceeds will support suicide prevention, mental health services, and other programs offered by United Way in St. Tammany Parish. As more households struggle to make ends meet, this event is working to help the community, but event sponsors and cooking teams are needed to accomplish this goal. 11 am–2 pm. $75 entry for a four-person cooking team; $10 for general admission. unitedwaysela.org/redbeans or Sonja Newman at 985-778-0815.
