SUNSET HERB AND GARDEN FESTIVAL and BREAUX BRIDGE CRAWFISH FEST

MAY 8, 2016

    Beautiful Spring weather brought hundreds of people to the annual Sunset Herb and Garden Festival on Saturday. The event is sponsored by the Sunset Garden Club. Festival organizers said they had over 110 plant, herb and crafts booths coming in from as far away as Metairie. The organizers said it was the largest turnout in both the number of booths and the public turnout. The KVPI road crew was there doing a live remote with Emily, Josh and Mark Saturday morning greeting many of our local listeners.

   The 2016 Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival is one for the record books. The weather was perfect and thousands packed Parc Hardy in Breaux Bridge to enjoy the food and the greatest musical acts in Louisiana.

   The kids enjoyed the carnival rides while grownups were dancing up a storm one of thirty top bands like Wayne Toups and Geno Delafaosse all through the weekend. People were dancing up a storm and enjoying delicious food.

   There were lots of contests like the crawfish eating contest, and crawfish races. The KVPI road crew, for the first time, were there live on remote, Raquella, Josh and Mark doing live reports covering the crawfish eating and crawfish races and interviewing the queens.

   Special thanks to all our broadcast sponsors for both festivals for making our remotes possible. We look forward to going back next year.
