There were more people than there were seats available at the International Rice Festival Building Thursday night when the Acadia Parish Chamber of Commerce staged its annual Farmers’ Appreciation Dinner. Highlighted by a meal of seafood etouffee prepared by “Night Train” Blane Faulk and his Crew of Sous Chefs, the evening featured the awarding of nearly 50 door prizes and the drawing for a Beretta A300 Outlander Synthetic 12-Gauge Shotgun donated by G&H Outdoor Store and Rice Palace. Clockwise from top left, Junior Rice Festival Queen Adilynn Dane Simar delivers one of the door prizes to a lucky winner; nearly every seat is filled and many are still socializing as the program prepared to open; Kelly Hundley is served by Acadia Parish 4-H Ambassadors; and Maureen Carlson proudly holds the shotgun she won as, from left, Elizabeth Miller, Chamber staff; L.J. Gielen of Rice Palace; Sam Mixon of G&H Outdoor Store, and Megan Duhon, Chamber president and CEO look on.
