September National Rice Month is always a whirlwind of activity in Louisiana! There are so many celebrations, cooking contests, and charitable food donations during NRM that they don't all fit. Stay tuned for the 87th International Rice Festival in Crowley, Louisiana, October 17-20.
The Cal Cam Rice Growers Association and the Port of Lake Charles partnered again this year for their annual cooking contest where students from several southwest Louisiana parishes compete with their rice dishes for prizes and tour the Port of Lake Charles during the judging session.
