Surprise donation: Mendoza donates truck to Maurice Police Department
The town of Maurice got a pleasant surprise late last month.
The third annual Mendoza fundraiser was held at Don Mendoza Ford in Maurice. The fundraiser was to raise money for volunteer fire departments in Vermilion Parish and for the Maurice Police Department.
The all-day event featured music, a top-of-the-line fireworks display, and a jambalaya cook-off.
The Lance Broussard Cooking Team won the crowd favorite, as well as, overall first place in the cook-off.
The lead chef was Jacques Campbell of Kaplan.
