SPICE Chili & Gumbo Cookoff Results

On Saturday February 15, 2025, we hosted our annual SPICE Chili & Gumbo cookoff at Louie’s Backyard. What a great turnout!!! We had 13 teams and over 30 chili/gumbo pots. Over 400 people showed up to support our cause. Thank you to everyone who cooked, volunteered or just came out to enjoy the weather and some good chili and gumbo.
