St. Landry Parish students showed their art, technology, and filled the Courthouse Square with music on Saturday during the second annual Arts and STEAM festival.
“I think it was of the many good things that we have going on now,” said School Board President and Eunice School Board member Mary Ellen Donatto.
“We intend to continue to be involved in this. I think it is awesome because we know what our students do, but the general public doesn’t know until you put on a function like this,” she said.

A huge crowd was at the Northwest Community pavilion Saturday for the 37th annual World-wide Crawfish Etouffee Cook-off.
Over 30 cooking teams participated and cooked their secret favorite crawfish etouffee recipe and served hundreds of people as they sampled a cup to their liking.
The public had a chance to vote for their favorite cooking team and this cooking team was named the Listeners’ Choice award on stage. Winners were announced at the end of the day which included Amateur and Professional Cooking divisions and Showmanship/Booth Decoration teams.
