Re: Who's going... Festivals de Musique Acadiens??
FESTIVALS ACADIEN in girard park in Lafayette is in October for the first time in its 30 plus year history. We have been there the last 3 years as well as numerous times over the years and the heat in Sept. is brutal. Attendance has been down, so they are hoping for cooler weather in Oct. and more people. Sadly, Larry Miller and his Bon Cajun Accordion booth won't be there this year due to his retirement.

Just saw Tab Benoit at the Chenango Blues Festival (in the rain) the other day, and he mentioned the Voice of the Wetlands Festival at the Southdown Plantation in Houma. I think it's the same weekend: October 13, 14, and 15. Some blues and NOLA R&B (Dr. John) along with some Cajun and zydeco. And educational exhibits on the wetlands.
Y'all could drop by for half a day and add yourself to the body count of those in favor of coastal wetlands restoration.
Don't know if I can talk the wife into it this year
