The Center for Cultural and Eco-Tourism is throwing a shindig on Thursday where you can win cool stuff, listen to great music and maybe even learn a little.
"Courir de Mardi Gras" by Herb Roe
At 6:30 p.m. March 31 at Esprit de Coeur on Garfield Street artists such as Herb Roe, Gwen Aucoin, Lucius A. Fontenot, Lynda Freese and Christopher LaBauve have donated their wares for a good cause. Encan du bon temps is in its third year and wants to show you a good time while supporting our state's stories. The Center for Cultural and Eco-Tourism is part of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and seeks to be a compendium of notably historic places in the area and also in the state. It educates about Louisiana history and supports those hotbeds of heritage where they can.
Donate at least $20 and get a chance to win stuff in both silent and live auctions, the latter hosted by Department of Natural Resources Secretary Scott Angelle. Johanna Divine and Friends will perform.
