Lafayette's Original Boudin Cookoff and The Acadiana Bacon Fest

This year we are donating proceeds from the Boudin Cook-Off and Acadiana Bacon Fest to the family of Angie and Nolan Theriot. When we began the Boudin Cook-Off 13 years ago, Angie, her mom, her children and her husband all played significant roles in helping get it started. Angie is an elementary school teacher in Lafayette and Nolan is a high school administrator. At the beginning of August, Angie suffered a devastating heart attack. She remains in the hospital a month later. The Theriots have been a part of the Boudin Cook-Off family for over a decade. - Also thanks to Love of People for being our non-profit sponsor and for facilitating this gift to the Theriot Family.
