Beast Feast:  cooking competition fundraiser event by Harvest Regional Food Bank.  Beast Feast at Mardi Gras will feature competitors cooking venison, wild game, quail, duck, alligator, rabbit etc.

Competitors will be competing for prizes and bragging rights and visitors can sample their entries. Because Beast Feast is right before Lent when meat is to be given up during Lent, we've perfectly timed our Beast Feast.  You can download information and entry forms for the Beast Feast here.
