Good afternoon teams and vendors!

We are looking forward to our upcoming cookoff and vendor event for the 7th annual gumbo and chili cookoff at Louis bait camp, presented by Be Our Guest!!! Looks like the weather is going to be pretty decent on Saturday. However, With the rain that came in yesterday and the anticipated rain for tomorrow, We are having to move the cook off into the Louis parking lot. Teams and vendors will be set up on the waterfront side of the parking lot beside the restaurant.

Spacing will be a lot tighter than what we anticipated when we were going to use the field. Please do not bring anything too large in order to minimize space. Teams will be approx 10X15 in space. Vendors will have about 10x10 space.

Teams can start checking in at 7 AM for set up.
Vendors can start checking in at 9 AM for set up.

When you come to set up, please unload and move your vehicles as quick as possible in order to give everyone courtesy, in being able to set up.

I know it sounds like it’s going to be tight in that area, but it actually makes for a lot more fun event being closer to the restaurant!!

We look forward to a super fun event this year. We are anticipating about 200 to 300 people in attendance this year!!

I know some of you were unable to attend the meeting last night due to weather. That is fine- if you would still like to cook just please respond to the email that way we can make sure to provide space for your team! We can collect the entry fee after you guys set up!

If you have any questions, please let us know!!

See you guys Saturday!!!

Hey y’all! Just a reminder if it is not Kristi Stakes, Amanda Johnson, or BeOurGuest_MK contacting you it is a scam artist trying to get money from you! If you do not feel comfortable paying anyone over the phone, you’re more than welcome to stop in at Louis Bait Camp and pay the $25 with the bartender for a vendor spot in our Gumbo and Chili Cookoff!

10/01/2021

THIS IS NOT AMANDA JOHNSON OR KRISTI STAKES. Do not send this women any money for a vendor spot for our Chili and gumbo Cookoff at Louis Bait Camp!
