GULF SHORES -- The National Shrimp Festival will get its first sponsor this year in a New Orleans company widely associated with Gulf Coast cuisine, officials announced Tuesday.
Zatarain's will be the presenting sponsor of the festival for at least three years, starting this October, said representatives of the company and the Alabama Gulf Coast Chamber of Commerce, which puts on the annual event.
Ron Kutter, festival chairman, said the connection between the company and event is appropriate.
"When it came to finding a presenting sponsor, truly there is no one else who can foot the bill, be a better fit than Zatarain's, with this being on the Gulf and the abundant amount of seafood here and the close proximity to the shrimping community here," Kutter said.
Jim Pearse, general manager of Zatarain's, said company members are enthusiastic about becoming part of the Gulf Coast event.
