We can all use a little holiday cheer right about now. So, just in time for Christmas, Downtown Lafayette is turning into a Winter Wonderland this December.
The Great Pumpkin Festival, an annual fundraiser benefiting nonprofits in Acadiana, will take place at Parc International in Downtown Lafayette at 3 pm on Saturday, October 24.
We obviously are still in the thick of summer here in south Louisiana and many of us are looking for ways to keep cool. That can often be a tough task here, especially if you want to enjoy some of the great outdoors.
I have the most random mind sometimes. I was out at Lake Martin last weekend and I saw a nutria rat and commented to my wife, "I may not be fast, but I could outrun him."
