United Way Southwest Louisiana’s Cook-Off, Battle for the Paddle, will be a wee bit o’ fun on St. Patrick’s Day with jambalaya and pastalaya competitions, kids zone, live music and of course green beer.
Music and Kids Zone is from 5:00pm – 8:00pm
Cooking teams begin at 9 am and spend the day socializing and cooking.
No ticket is required for viewing the live concert or allowing children to play at Kids Zone. They will be free and open to the public.
Come sample some of the best jambalaya and pastalaya our region has to offer. Help award the People’s Choice for both divisions while they vie for First, Second and Third place paddles.
Wear your best St. Paddy’s Day outfits and help us raise money for Southwest Louisiana.
