Rio Crest
The Krewe of Carnivale en Rio celebrated its 5th Anniversary with a “Spring Rodizio” at Acadian Village. Rodizio (Portuguese for free buffet of much meat) is similar to our Cajun culture of a good old-fashioned barbeque. Pounds of grilled meat along with traditional side dishes provided for a delectable afternoon for the krewe. Fortunately the weather cooperated, and “membros” got a chance to meet and greet their “placa de directores” (board of directors). Krewe float captains and lieutenants participated in the actual cooking and grilling under the direction of Jeanie Simon-Domingue (tenente festa/party lieutenant). Members were also able to bring a guest to this end of the season function. This gave a chance for prospective “membros” to see and experience the “Brazilian Krewe.” The Rio Carnival Ball will be held in Lafayette at the Cajundome Convention Center on Saturday, Jan. 9, 2010.
