The St. John Primary School in Prairieville and St. Theresa Middle School in Gonzales recently held the Festival of Friends. The mini-pot competition is a great way to kick off the Saturday of the fair and what else says Ascension tradition more than the smell of jambalaya. The competition is split up into 2 categories: PK–third grade and fourth–eighth grades. This year’s winners included: PK–third grade: first place Collin Frederic; second place Kohen Simoneaux; and third place Austin Elisar. Winners in fourth through eighth grades included: first place Avery Gautreau; second place Claire Frederic; and third place Ambrie Duplessis.
