  2. Love Cajun food and would be excited to visit Baton Rouge, see the sights and eat at its lovely restaurants. I can only pray I win.

  3. I love Louisiana and the people that live there. I wanted to go to LSU really bad. Couldn’t afford it. Best food and best people on the planet!

  4. I am a 78 year old senior citizen from Natchitoches, Louisiana and have passed through Baton Rouge several times but have never visited Baton Rouge and would love to win this trip so I could visit here.

  5. It’s been many years since I visited Baton Rouge or anywhere in that part of our country. Love eating all the great seafood dishes, music and the people.

  6. I’ve never been to Baton Rouge. I’ve been to New Orleans several times, love the food and atmosphere. Would love to experience Baton Rouge ♥️

  7. After fighting two bouts of breast cancer I would LOVE to win a trip like this just to get away for a weekend with my hubby. Not only did I have a fight to go through but my husband did also. This would be a much needed get away for us.
