Crowley, LA – Friends and family are coming together to support Bill Faulk, whose home was recently damaged by a fire. A series of fundraising events and donation drives have been organized to assist with the restoration of his home.
On Saturday, August 16, 2025, a major benefit event will take place at the Knights of Columbus Hall (226 S Ave E, Crowley, LA), running from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. This event promises a day of community spirit and entertainment, featuring a Jambalaya Cook-Off, live entertainment, a live and silent auction, concessions, and games for the whole family.
Jambalaya Cook-Off Details: The Jambalaya Cook-Off invites teams of four (including one captain) to compete. There is a $50 entry fee per team, and each team must serve at least 100 servings. Participants are required to use traditional jambalaya ingredients (pork, chicken, beef, or a combination) and no wild game. All cooking must be done on-site.
