NEW IBERIA, La. --- The most important part of tradition is the passing of customs from one generation to the next. The World Championship Gumbo Cookoff takes pride in continuing the tradition of cooking a delicious gumbo through the Youth World Championship Gumbo Cookoff every year.
The event takes place on the Saturday of Gumbo Weekend (Oct. 9 - 10), and serving begins at 3 p.m. LA Classic Roofing will assist youth teams in finding a competing gumbo team to sponsor them as they prepare and compete just like an official gumbo team would.
"Don’t miss this valuable opportunity to honor tradition, listen to live music, and celebrate what we do best, gumbo," said Avery Grubb with the Greater Iberia Chamber of Commerce.
This year, the event is sponsored by LA Classic Roofing. Youths between the ages of 9 - 17 who want to participate in the cookoff can contact the Greater Iberia Chamber of Commerce at (337) 364-1836.
