Come out to witness fabulous chefs compete with each other, armed only with crucial ingredients and their secret recipes! Gumbo begins cooking at 8 a.m., with public tasting (two tastings for a dollar!) following the judging around 10:45 a.m.

There is no entry fee for contestants and winners will receive cash prizes and trophies. Competition is limited to 18 entries. Pre-registration is required and contestant entry applications are due to the Manitou Chamber by 5 p.m. on Friday, January 23rd. Gumbo categories will be amateur and professional. Please go to www.manitousprings.org under "Events" for rules and regulations.

The always entertaining Carnivale Parade takes over downtown Manitou following the cook-off. For information on the parade you may contact Jack Elder at 719-685-9127.
