Cultural Village and Artist Walk
The
Lacombe Crab Festival announced the highlights of their Cultural Village and
Artists Walk. The two day event scheduled for June 27th and 28th will showcase
artisans that will demonstrate their artistic process as well as artisans
that will sell their products.
The 2009 Festival Poster artist is Adam Sambola. The poster will be for sale
at the Festival. The poster design will also be in-cluded on the 2009 T-Shirts.
The Festival will also sell Golf Shirts, Aprons, and Chef Hats with their
signature crab.
Included in the Cultural Village and Artists Walk will be the Let-ters To
The Soldiers booth. “We provide paper, pens, stickers, and envelopes
for our visitors to jot down a few words or draw pictures for our soldiers,”
said organizer Sandy Haynes. “Last year we mailed out over 500 letters
to Iraq and Afghanistan.”
Exhibitions by the Southeast Louisiana Refuges and the Louisi-ana Crab Task
Force will be held in the Air Conditioned Commu-nity Center. The Louisiana
Spirit of the Volunteers of America will display their services to our community
