Andouille Fest

Found out about this Festival through my 19 year old sister. The place is located in La Place and it can be a hassle first hand when it comes to parking. However, do not fret there are guardsmen/guards-women that will direct you on which area to park in. I have a scary Two year old that is afraid of just about everything and anything that moves without his permission so he was not having it. I did manage to scheme my way in to the carousel ride although he cried at first but once I Talked him through and made him laugh so he was distracted. The rides are perfect for like 5 and up or again not scary two year olds. There's a Ferris Wheel and even pony rides. The food was where they lost 1 star. I was sop excited to try the different varieties of food. Believe you me there were a lot. I just wasn't to thrilled with the taste and flavoring of many of them. Honestly i enjoyed the lemonade and cotton candy. But surprisingly the concert band called "Off Da Hook" was where I enjoyed myself and gave this Festival the whopping 4. I mean this was like the perfect cover band ever! i ENJOYED the suspense of trying to predict what the next song would be. Like they covered Rick James, EU, Stevie Wonder, Maroon 5, etc. I mean I was purely entertained. My son loved the band he dance all night long! They even kept us informed on the LSU Game for those who missed it. So yes I'm a Fan and me and my son will be back!

What a great time in La Place. Great music. Excellent food. Nice folks. Loved the bands. They gave us a ride to the front of the fair. Great selection of arts and crafts.
