| Comments: | Saw this email address in the News Examiner and decided to look it up. I was hoping to get a glimpse of my brother's picture for this year's bonfire poster. To my surprise his picture was right there on the home page. I'm so proud of him and his getting to do the poster this year. Also looking foward to seeing him and getting one of the poster's for our home. Thanks Wendy for telling him of this opportunity to draw the poster. Only thing is, all my brothers and sister want the poster with the number 1 signature on it. He'll have to sign 5 or 6 #1 posters. Think it will work?
Good luck, hope this festival is a huge success. Cindy |

| Comments: | Your Bonfires have become the newest Christmas Tradition in our family. We have a six-year-old son and a 20-month-old daughter.
A native of Kentucky, but married to a Louisianian, I wanted our family's traditions to reflect the rich history and culture of Louisiana. Nowhere is that more evident than your fabulous celebration Christmas Eve. We've declare ourselves St. James Parish honorary citizens that night. We feel such a part of your community among all the celebration. It's better than being at Disney World. It truly is spectacular. Thank you for sharing your celebration and tradition with us and the rest of the world. What a marvelous display of family and fun. We began this three years ago and can't wait for December 24th to come again. Best Wishes To All, Whitney Vann |

Kara and Sadie were wonderful on WWL TV today along with Camella (the real queen). The advertising of the festival was wonderful. Special thanks to Lawrence Louque and Steven LeMoine for the gumbo and accompanying us to the set. Eric really enjoyed the gumbo as well as everyone else they feed. Hope we have a great festival turnout! |

Found this site while searching and ironically it was the Bonfire Festival of '93 where my then girl friend(now my wife) and I finally connected and started dating seriously. I give credit to the Delta Queen Riverboat's organ player for contributing to that special moment. |
