Last night was our 20th annual Gumbo Cook-Off in Parc International (Lafayette, LA). The weather was beautiful and the event a great success. Our Keller Williams crew even won third prize for our 101 Dalmatians theme. Below are a few pictures from the event. If you missed the fun, join us next year!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, it’s that time of year again!! Tomorrow, Thursday October 14th, is our annual gumbo cook-off in Park International downtown Lafayette from 4:30 to 7:30pm. This year is the 20th edition of the event and Geno Delafose & French Rockin’ Boogie will be providing entertainment for everyone.

This is a picture of our Keller Williams crew last year. Our theme was Psycho for Gumbo and I was the doctor keeping everybody in line. We sure had a good time!

This year, the theme for the cook-off is “Animation-Fascination” and the Keller Williams’ crew has picked the 101 Dalmatians. If you come to the park, look for a group of cute puppies having fun. That will be us!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So put on your dancin’ shoes, bring a chair and come taste some great gumbo! Children 5 and under get in free while it’s only $5 for all you can eat gumbo (you can’t beat that!). There will also be a children’s costume contest at 6:30 (ages 12 and under).

Come join us for a great evening of fun and food.

If you were in Lafayette this past weekend, you probably enjoyed Festivals Acadiens in Girard Park. I know I did and I just wanted to share a few of the pictures I took Sunday. The weather was beautiful. Hot and dusty was the theme this year and everyone had a wonderful time, including the musicians!

After being closed for almost 3 years, the bridge on the Lafayette/Vermilion parish line finally opened a couple of weeks ago. The bridge was deemed unsafe in 2007 and too damaged to be repaired. Now, residents who travel between Maurice and Lafayette can finally cross the parish line using the brand new bridge that links Kirk Road in Maurice and Robley Drive in Lafayette.

If you are traveling on that road, note that the speed limit drops to 30 MPH when you enter Vermilion parish so be careful.

As a resident of Maurice, and someone who uses that road quite often, it’s been a pleasure to be able to use the road again to cross the parish line. I have a feeling that many other residents in the area feel the same.
