Day one at the Louisiana Association of Fairs and Festivals Convention -
The Taste of Louisiana lived up to its name, so many great dishes to try! We sampled everything! We had a great time, with a picnic on the hall floor and ate more than we probably should have, while listening to some amazing music. We are so excited to enjoy this weekend with Joyce as she experiences, Laff for the first time! stay tuned for more photos.

The Gheens Bon Mange’ Festival Board Members, Queen and Volunteers will attend the Louisiana Association of Fairs and Festivals Convention in Baton Rouge Feb. 5-8, 2026.

Joyce Lucurto will be representing our community and the Gheens Bon Mange’ Festival at this year’s Convention, as our 37th Miss Gheens Bon Mange'.

Joyce is 20 years old and is pursuing a career in Entrepreneurship to further the creation of her organization “It’s A Sickeningly Beautiful Life”. She is a homebody with deep love for advocating, crochet, and music. She is deeply honored and humbled to represent the Gheens Community and the festival of good eats at the Louisiana Association of Fairs and Festivals. Joyce is so excited for LAFF weekend and cannot wait to spread the Gheens love to everyone! She is not only an ambassador for all things fair and festival, but also all things relating to health and wellness. Her top goal at convention is to be a vessel to all who need her, and to evoke kindness and honesty through every conversation she holds. She hopes to represent the community of Gheens with sheer love and determination.

We are excited to spend this weekend with her and her family, as well as everyone else attending to support her. She is a remarkable young woman, and we know that her beauty, intelligent, grace, creativity and personality will be reflected as she represents our community and festival. Good Luck JOYCE - LAFF Contestant #1
