Farmers’ Appreciation Dinner
The Crowley Chamber of Commerce and Louisiana Rice Mill would like to invite you to our annual Farmers’ Appreciation Dinner in honor of the farmers who make such a large contribution to the culture and economy of Acadia Parish. This year’s banquet will be held on Thursday, October 13, 2011 at the Crowley International Rice Festival Building. Guests will arrive at 6:00 p.m. for a social hour and the opportunity to view booth exhibits from local vendors. A jambalaya dinner with trimmings will follow at 7:00 p.m.
This dinner is largely financed through tickets purchased by local businesses and individuals at a fee of $8.00 per ticket, which includes dinner and drinks. In addition, we would like to thank G&H Outdoor Store and Rice Palace for the donation of a black synthetic, 12-guage, Beretta 391 Shotgun valued at $895 that will be raffled at the dinner. Raffle tickets can be purchased from any Chamber Board member or at the Chamber office for $5 each.
Another exciting part of the evening is the drawing for door prizes. Area businesses have been very generous in the past by donating door prizes to be given away at the dinner. Please notify our office if you are interested in donating any items by October 7th, so that gift certificates and door prizes may be compiled and recognition can be given to those who have contributed.
We are excited about this amazing opportunity to bring our farming community together and support their efforts. If you have any other questions or need more information, please feel free to call our office, 337-788-0177. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you on October 13th!
