March Madness!

Lots of updates to post today!!!
_________________________________________________________________


First, our First Annual Gumbo Cook-Off is this weekend!!!! If you haven't signed up to cook and would like to, you haven't run out of time yet, the deadline to sign up was extended to March 12th. Call Colt ASAP to get signed up. His cell # is 277-6745. If you don't want to cook, there's still a lot of things to come out for. First, we will have a raffle for gift certificate donations that we received. (Awesome!) You must be present to win. Second, we will have a silent auction with lots of awesome items that have been donated to us. (You can view a partial list here.) Third, GUMBO!!! A public tasting will be held as soon as judging concludes.



At the event we will have information on hand about Heartstrings and you can sign up for updates and volunteer. We will also have information about March for Babies, and if you want to walk with us in May, you can sign up at the Cook-Off.



The gates open to the public at 7pm. Gumbo tasting and Lil Nathan and the Zydeco Big Timers begin at 8:00. The silent auction has 2 tables; bidding ends for Table 1 at 8:30 and Table 2 at 9:00. Award ceremony is at 9:00.



Please come join the fun!!!
