Here’s a look at some community events happening in your parish this weekend.
Starting off in Vermilion Parish, where Friday night at 6:30 p.m., Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser and Olympic gold medalists Hollis Conway and Mondo Duplantis are set to be inducted into the Acadian Museum’s Order of Living Legends.
It’s part of a ceremony that is taking place at the Erath Community Center on City Park Drive. We’re told the gala doubles as a fundraiser for the museum, featuring Cajun food, music, and a raffle. Proceeds go to support the museum’s efforts to preserve Acadian culture.
