Taste of Gumbo |
Rotary year 1986-87 gave birth to the Taste of Gumbo and was such a success it became an annual event.
Each year, area restaurants are invited to prepare and serve their favorite gumbo recipes at this event which is held at the Port Arthur Civic Center. The Rotary Club provides the organizational structure, and the member is required to sell tickets. Average attendance is approximately 3,000. The price of a ticket buys all the gumbo one can eat and an opportunity to win a major door prize.
Funds in excess of $11,000 have been raised each year and are used to help fund various charities selected each year. Following the event, each club presents appreciation plaques to the participating restaurants.
