The Founder’s Day celebration took place on Saturday, March 7.
“Not a week goes by without some new person saying what a beautiful region we live in. Not a week goes by without hearing someone who lives here muse happily about the comfort and refuge they find here,” said Mayor Godenot. “It is my sincere pleasure to walk in the paths laid down by those wonderful women, Mama Cree and Miz Gabi. Join me in honoring our founders, and thank them by enjoying the beautiful places they have given us.”
The mayor’s “Leap of Faith” landed him squarely in the the bucket, traditionally ensuring another year of excellent luck for New Toulouse.
Following the ceremonial paying of the Lafitte’s rent meter, celebrants gathered on Bourbon for a street party.
Partygoers enjoyed the performance of visiting musician Mr. Bohemian, whose original songs in at least three different languages were an especially big hit.
