Leisa Delafoisse (Jeremy's) Mom and Gary Hayman do the Zydeco. There were a number of Creole dancers at the festival demonstrating their impressive style of Zydeco. Terryl Hebert (Cedric's show-dancer) cut the rug with a fan. Terryl was quite busy doing his shows at the Silver Dollar City theme park and running to the Mardi Gras Festival. Terryl also does some Master of Ceremonies duties besides his dance demonstrations.

Throw me something mister! Waiting for the beads. There were tons of beads distributed from the stage between band changes. People will do anything for beads -- don't you know. Part of the Mardi Gras Costume Parade. There were many authentic Cajun Country costumes on display.

Impromptu 2nd line at night -- led by Leisa. You can get an idea of how big the stage was by all the Klieg lights; and you can see its height off the ground -- 11 ft. Mark deBasile scrubs a real washboard during one of his sets.
