The 39th annual World-wide Crawfish Etouffee Cook-off was held Saturday at the Northwest Pavilion with hundreds of people attending to sample crawfish etouffee and listen and dance to three live bands.
About 38 cooking booths with chefs and helpers provided their own ‘secret’ crawfish etouffee recipe for the public’s taste buds.
Awards were given at the end of the event and winners were named in Amateur and Professional Cooking, Showmanship/Booth Decoration, and the People’s Choice Award.

Eunice High School held its annual Renaissance Academic Pep Rally Friday morning with a program themed, “Glowup With Academics.” The pep rally gives students an opportunity and privilege of earning and winning T-shirts, prizes, electronics, awards, gift cards, cash and much more, for their hard work earned in the classroom.
Many sponsors and businesses donate to the event every year.
The emcees for the morning program included Kasey Andrepont, Alicia Guillory Bielstein and Coach Brody Gaspard.
