The 31st Annual World Championship Gumbo CookOff is in the books and planning is beginning soon for next year’s Gumbo CookOff. On behalf of the Greater Iberia Chamber of Commerce, I want to thank all of our volunteers, cooking teams and Chefs, sponsors and those of you who attended the two-day event.

The Gumbo CookOff is a fundraiser for the Chamber. However, the Gumbo CookOff not only benefits the Chamber of Commerce, but also Iberia Parish and the City of New Iberia along with our business community through local tourism dollars. The exposure of Iberia Parish and the City of New Iberia as a tourist destination has grown over the years in part to the World Championship Gumbo CookOff.

Thanks to all of you who have helped the 31st Annual World Championship Gumbo CookOff surpass expectations. Looking forward to the 32nd Annual.

Sincerely,

Thomas H. Falgout, President/CEO
Greater Iberia Chamber of Commerce
