The 27th Annual Torch Classic will take on a creole flare as we journey to the great state of Louisiana June 22 thru June 26. Experience the rich flavors of gumbo, etouffee, and jambalaya, spend a day fishing, or book a birding or swamp tour along the ecologically rich wetlands stretching out toward the Gulf of Mexico.
Join us in Houma, Louisana for the 2011 Torch Classic where they showcase the region’s Cajun heritage and hospitality every day.
We hope that you will join us to support the community, renew old acquaintances and make many new friendships.
See you in Louisiana!
