Just to give everyone a 'HEADS UP!' about a fun event that is 'revving up' to start on 7 October.  All of southeast Louisiana is preparing to receive everyone, Acadians or not, to this 2 week cultural festival.
"Hosted by Louisianians, the entire region of South Louisiana is opening their doors to welcome family and friends who want to celebrate and help maintain the culture, customs, traditions and history of the Acadians. This celebration will be held October 7th through 16th, 2011 in four Acadian regions. New Orleans, Houma, Lake Charles, and Lafayette will host events and celebrations closing with a huge renewal of pride on the last day at Festivals Acadiens et Créoles at Girard Park in Lafayette."
