Centenary Alumni's ‘Beast Feast' fundraiser returns
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – An annual fundraiser at Centenary College brings festival-style fun back to raise funds for the alumni association.
The Centenary Alumni Association's fundraiser, 'Beast Feast: Something for Everyone', returns Saturday, April 26th, from 4:30 to 7:00 p.m. on Jones-Rice Field at Centenary College.
According to a release, this unique, festival-style event features bold, 'off-the-menu' culinary creations alongside classic southern favorites, all prepared by local cook teams. Best of all, every bite supports student scholarships at Centenary College.
Centenary President, Dr. Christopher Holoman, is once again firing up the grill to roast a pig, a beloved Beast Feast tradition. Other adventurous eats include grilled pheasant, wild boar birria, and crawfish cornbread. Want a real kick? Don't miss the 'Lava Noodles' from the Pepper Pals! Traditional favorites, such as brisket, gumbo, and shrimp and grits, will also be served, along with vegetarian and vegan options to ensure there's truly something for everyone.

Each cook team will also compete for the coveted Best of Beast Feast title, so expect their A-game!
