What a Weekend!

The Crawfish Cook Off was a huge success!

The final numbers are not in yet, but we went through over 35,000 lbs. of crawfish and sold out of tickets at 10,000. Children 12 and under got in free with an adult. We estimate that raised the total in attendance to nearly 12,000 people.

The Hospice Foundation of the South puts this event on every year. Our goals are to pay for needs of hospice patients that have limited means. Also, we want to build a residence. This weekend puts us a lot closer to both goals.

If you are not familiar with hospice care, let me encourage you to get informed. You might begin by checking on this website.

Also, contact your local social services agency or a local hospital.

You will enrich your life by being better prepared when the end comes for yourself or family member.

Hospice can help.
