VIOLET OYSTER FESTIVAL SET FOR OCTOBER 19-21

The Violet Oyster Festival will return for the third weekend in October,
2012. There will be rides and great food from Friday, October 19th to
Sunday, October 21st on the church grounds at the Corner of East Judge Perez
Drive and Colonial Boulevard in Violet. ADMISSION IS FREE!

 

It is with great excitement that we announce the dates of the Annual Violet
Oyster Festival -- October 19-21, 2012 on the Church grounds of Our Lady of
Lourdes Catholic Church in Violet. This will be our third festival since the
interruption of Hurricane Katrina, as we continue to deal with the effects
from the BP Oil Spill and the more recent devastation from Hurricane Issac.
It's about more than making a few dollars for Church Ministries and
outreach; it gives people an opportunity to gather and celebrate life, with
great food and friends. A good time is had by all, especially because of the
support from the local community.

 
It will be a wonderful opportunity to focus on the fun and excitement which
festivals offer... a time to momentarily forget about the challenges and
struggles that are real.  We anticipate the Festival to be an annual
'reunion'; a time for those who moved away to come back and visit; a time
for those who are already here to spend good, wholesome quality time as we
enjoy the festive atmosphere, good food and good friends. 
 
The Oyster Festival will be offering oysters--- raw on the half-shell, fried
oyster dinners, po-boys, grilled oysters on the half-shell with sauce as
well as shrimp, fish, fettuccine, gumbo, jambalaya, onion mums, pizza, hot
dogs, hamburgers, nachos, sweets, daiquiris, funnel cakes and much,  much,
more!  For more information, visit
