Ben Hillyer / The Natchez Democrat — It’s not a scene you would normally see from the back of an ambulance, but Friday was a day to celebrate and honor the area’s first responders during the United Way of the Miss-Lou Jambalaya Cook Off. Lynn Barnes eats her plate of jambalaya from the back of a Metro Ambulance in the Natchez Convention Center Friday. Winners of the cook off include: Master Gardeners – first place, people’s choice award and best team booth; The Markets – second place; Natchez Community Hospital – third place; Natchez-Adams Council on Aging – best agency booth.
