That's a picture of me from the dress rehearsal at the Rotary Ball this past weekend. It was such a fun time, I just had to share. Thanks to Ms. Gini McKain for such and awesome picture!

Yesterday, I talked to the Mayor of Parks and we are ONNN for the doggie paddle. He's excited and so are we! The event will begin at about 9 am and paddlers and their dogs will paddle from the launch in Breaux Bridge to the launch in Parks. Once there, there will be microchipping, grooming, a DJ (All O Cajun DJ Services has donated his services! Thanks SOOO Much!) food, drink and much more! All of the proceeds from the event will benefit the St. Martin Animal Services!

Wooo! Matter of fact, Mr. Ken took his dogs, Lola and Sam, out for a paddle and he said they were more scared than they knew what to do with. Check em out in the picture.

All the insurance has been applied for and most of the applications have been filled out for our permits. Once I finish getting all the nitty gritty things together, I'll send them off. Permits should be had soon. Insurance too. Woooo!

I've also heard from the Evangeline Downs Hotel about special TDT rates!!! Here's what they have to say: "We would love to be the featured Opelousas accommodation for the 2012 Tour du Teche event. We would like to offer a special rate of $79 plus tax for any participants that reserve a room at the Evangeline Downs Hotel by May 31st. Between May 31 and August 31, we will offer a special TdT rate of $89 plus tax, and $99 for reservations made in September up to October 3. These rates would be valid for the nights of October 3rd and 4th, to accommodate anyone that would be arriving early for the start on October 5."

If you want to get in touch with them to secure these rates, call them at 337-407-2121.

Wooooo hoooooo! Things are coming together!!
