BRIDE OF 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN! DAY 6: ROUGAROU FEST 2014 IN HOUMA!


I was pleasantly surprised to learn of the existence of Rougarou Fest, a festival centering on the rougarou, the southern Louisiana take on the werewolf folk legend. Here's the description from the Rougarou Fest site:
The Rougarou Fest is a family-friendly festival with a spooky flair that celebrates the rich folklore that exists along the bayous of Southeast Louisiana. It is also the primary fundraiser supporting the South Louisiana Wetlands Discovery Center, a nonprofit, tax exempt organization, that is revolutionizing how we think, teach and learn about Louisiana’s disappearing coast.
 The site gives a breakdown of the family-safe activities, such as games, food, and great music. It sounds like a great time and I love that a festival based on a monster legend exists. Check out the site by clicking the link above.
