BOSSIER CITY, La. -- The Krewe of Gemini held its Fall Flambeaux Saturday, but this year was a little different for the organization with a gumbo competition thrown into the mix.

There were 18 entries split into categories like seafood, non-seafood, lagniappe and people's choice.

The annual gathering represents a kickoff to their Mardi Gras festivities with members getting a sneak peak at the hand painted floats.

It's also an opportunity to showcase what Gemini means to the Shreveport-Bossier community.

Grand Marshal - Chef Niema DiGrazia.
