Hi Bruce,

Last year at La Fete de Marquette, Steve Riley
and Geno Delafose graced the stage, right?

I recall the temperature being well into the 90's
and the bands commenting about how much it was like
being back home :-)

This year, the setup will afford the dancers some
well deserved shade!

(That is, if I'm thinking of the right place :-)

You are thinking of the right place. Scorching hot and no shade. They have planted some trees, but they don't cast must shade at this point. There will be a bigger dance floor and another tent for shade and hopefully the weather will be better.
