We appreciate the generous donations of area merchants for providing the prizes. These include donations from the Bloom Florist on Government Street, Chef Don Bergeron Enterprises on Jefferson Hwy, Rue Cou Cou on Government Street, and the Garden District Nursery on Government Street. Please join us in thanking the merchants for their generosity the next time you visit their places of business.
