The popular annual event benefits the St. Theresa Food Pantry and showcases some of this area’s best chefs. Tickets are $25 per person and are available for purchase at Gonzales City Hall, The Ascension Chamber of Commerce or at the door the night of the event. (Tickets are also available through any Rotary Club of Gonzales Member.)

Attendees are encouraged to bring a canned good. For every one canned good donated, Blue Runner will donate two in return. Special thanks to this year’s sponsors: Blue Runner, LeBlanc’s Food Stores, EATEL, Broussard Paper, GSA Consulting Engineers, Allfax Specialties, Inc., The Creole and the City of Gonzales.
