Saturdays at the Prairie Acadian Cultural Center

Music, dancing, food, and crafts: come pass a good time any Saturday at the Prairie Acadian Cultural Center.

Every Saturday from 3:00-6:00 p.m., the center hosts folklife demonstrations that range from spinning and weaving to musical instrument making to dance lessons. At 3:00 p.m., it's time for Cajun music and dancing, with center volunteers on hand to teach a dance step or two. At 4:00 p.m., cooking demonstrations share local secrets for the perfect gumbo or etouffee.

At 6:00 p.m., head next door to the Liberty Theatre for an evening of live Cajun and zydeco music at Rendex-vous des Cajuns. Ticket and program information for the show is available at 337-457-7389.

Laissez les bon temps roulez!

Vultures arrive on land.

Did You Know?
Vultures do not have many predators. If an enemy does approach, the vulture will face its enemy and projectile vomit. This inventive bird also has a unique way to stay cool: it urinates on its legs. The urine also helps kill any germs picked up while treading through a carcass.
