Maxine West is the winner of the Eunice Rotary Club’s Administrative Professional of the Year Award for 2025.
The Rotary Club sponsored the Administrative Professional’s Day Luncheon Wednesday which was held at noon inside the LSU Eunice Mumphrey Center.
It is the 35th annual Administrative Professionals’ Day.
Many locally and near by businesses and merchants donated door prizes, cash prizes and gift certificates for the event. There were over $5,700 of prizes given to those with a winning ticket number.

Shine and then rain... the show went on Saturday. The 38th annual World Championship Crawfish Etouffee Cook-off was held under the pavilion at the Northwest Community Center.
At the event there were 37 cooking booths, different food vendors, arts and crafts and live bands entertainment for the attendees to enjoy. There was also a table which included an accordion, fiddle and a guitar provided by the Louisiana Folk Roots for Kids to have their hand at playing an instrument. Jeanne Solis, executive director for Louisiana Folk Roots, assisted children.

Eunice High School held its annual Renaissance Academic Pep Rally Friday morning with a program themed, “Game On: Press Start for Success.” The pep rally gives students an opportunity and privilege of earning and winning T-shirts, prizes, electronics, awards, 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 Jay Caswell, Kasey Andrepont and Alicia Guillory Bielstein.
