There will be 50 different vendor booths selling an array of different items including:

  • children's clothes (handmade and boutique)
  • hand painted crafts
  • Jamie Bergeron's Cajun products
  • pepper jelly
  • fresh honey

The list goes on and you won't know which booth to stop at first. The best part of the event is that it is free thanks to the man local sponsors who help to make the event a success.

The fun kicks off Saturday, November 19th at 9am with Santa and a little bit of dancing from the Lagniappe Ladies.

Acadiana Towns With Multiple Pronunciations

In south Louisiana, we sure have a way with words all our own. Add in the Cajun-French influence and you will hear all kinds of different pronunciations coming out of the mouths of folks from Acadiana. How towns are pronounced is no different as illustrated by this list here.
