Cajun life savers

The 46th Annual Cajun Music Festival was held this past weekend at the Mamou Recreational Center Complex. The festival attracted huge crowds both days for its traditional Cajun bands, games, and workshops. Pictured here from left to right are staff members Mike Fontenot, Cajun Music Festival President Terral Fontenot, and staff members David Ardoin and Eric Soileau. The four are standing outside the center in front of an American Flag, a Louisiana state flag, and an Acadiana Flag that depicts the French and Spanish aspects of the Cajun culture along with the Cajuns devotion to Mary, the Blessed Mother.
