President’s Message

// March 31st, 2010 // No Comments » // Uncategorized

Our dances continue to draw really large, energetic crowds that dance till the last waltz and breakdown song. It is also rewarding to see a large contingent of young folks in attendance, college aged and younger. This bodes well for the future of Cajun music in this area. We’ve committed to bringing a wide variety of Cajun bands, many that have never played for us before and it has been exciting for everyone.

Our contract has been extended for the rest of 2010 so our Band Committee is already gearing up. Bands and dates will be posted in the near future.

Merci, John Pellerin
