OPELOUSAS CATHOLIC TASTERS’ DINNER, AUCTION & CULINARY COMPETITION
A great assortment of cuisine will be offered at the upcoming Opelousas Catholic School Tasters’ Dinner, Auction and Culinary Competition. Final plans for the evening of Wednesday, February 3rd, in the new Opelousas Civic Center are now being made. Doors will open at 6 p.m. for beverages and browsing of auction items. Serving of food will begin at 6:30 p.m. The theme for the evening is “A Royal and Majestic Evening” with a Mardi Gras flair. In its eleventh year, the event is being held to celebrate the school’s impending Annual Angel Appeal Drive.
Many area chefs have accepted invitations to participate, and the event now has 26 delicious dishes for tasting. Bringing in their favorite recipes are the following: Back in Time, Blue Dog Café, The Fabulous Café Breen, Cannatella’s, Tony Chachere’s, Crawfish Corner, Crawfish Town USA, Fezzo’s Seafood, Steakhouse and Oyster Bar, Joe’s Dreyfus Store Restaurant, Jolie’s Louisiana Bistro, La Hacienda, Not Your Mama’s Café & Tavern, NuNu’s Creole Traditions, Piggly Wiggly South, Steamboat Warehouse Restaurant, Super One Foods, Tsunami Sushi, Virtual Bistro Catering, and Zea Rotisserie and Grill. These establishments will be competing in a “people’s choice” competition in one or more of six categories: salad, soup, seafood, meat, ethnic, and dessert.
A variety of interesting items will be available for auction during the evening. Some of these items will be auctioned in a “live” format and include autographed Saints and LSU memorabilia, an awesome Long River Lodge package and a beautifully-crafted multi-functional cabinet along with the ever-popular “O.C. Cheerleader for a Day”. In the Silent Auction segment, there will be a Natchez dinner cruise for four, children’s Cajun Mardi Gras costumes, jewelry, home décor and garden pieces, children’s items, unique gift baskets and gift certificates. O.C. parents and grandparents will be especially drawn to the precious class projects and baskets including handmade quilts, wooden crafts, books and calendars. In addition, top bidders may leave with “prime graduation seating” or an opportunity for their child to be “principal for a day”!
Upon entry with a dinner ticket, the tickets will be placed in a basket for a drawing later in the evening where there will be three chances to win one month’s free tuition for one child enrolled at Opelousas Catholic School.
Tickets at $30 per person are available in the O.C. Development Office, Piggly Wiggly on Heather Drive, St. Landry Homestead Bank, and Bodemuller the Printer. The dinner ticket price also includes water and soft drinks, while a cash bar is available for other beverages. Parents, grandparents, family and friends of Catholic education are invited to attend and enjoy this special evening.
