Horseshoe pitchers from 14 states expected at Cajun Coast Classic

Cajun Coast Tourism, in partnership with the Bayou Horseshoe Pitchers Association, will host the eighth annual Cajun Coast Classic Horseshoe Tournament Saturday and Sunday at Kemper Williams Park in Patterson.

More than 97 pitchers hailing from 14 states are scheduled to take part in the 2024 tournament.

Ron Taylor, Horseshoe Tour Director of Operations, said "We are excited about having the Cajun Coast Classic back on our tour schedule again this season. Cajun Coast Tourism Bureau and the Bayou Horseshoe Pitchers Association have been very gracious and great to work with. This event has shown growth in prior years, and we anticipate a continuation of that trend.

The tournament begins at 9 a.m. Saturday and Sunday and is open for public viewing. Concessions will be available. Entrance to Kemper Williams Park is $1 per vehicle.

"We're thrilled to be hosting this event that's bringing horseshoe pitchers from across the country, Cajun Coast Tourism Executive Director Carrie Stansbury said. "We can't wait for them to experience the hospitality and beauty that South Louisiana, and especially St. Mary Parish, are known for," she added.

The Cajun Coast would like to thank its supporting partners in this event: St. Mary Parish Government, Bayou Horseshoe Pitchers Association, Kemper Williams Park & Clarion Inn
