2016 Cajun Heritage Festival 40th Anniversary Show - Pictures by Rafton Lefort

2016 Cajun Heritage Festival
40th Anniversary
The 40th anniversary show was a great success . Lots of people attending ,meeting old friends, making new friends . Lots of carvings were entered this year and lots of decoys were up for auction . These pictures were taken by myself but I am not only thinking of the carvings that were entered, this year I took advantage of showing the work of the carvers that had tables showing their work . Lots of people are asking where they can get their hands on Louisiana decoys . This year I found the solution, below I have pictures of different carvers work , their business card and now if you are looking for Louisiana decoys or carvings your prayers have been answered . After that I have lots of pictures of the carvings that were entered and carvings that were on display .
Relax and enjoy

Also on Mildred's table were beautiful oyster shells with painted wildlife and Cajun scenes but by the time I got to take pictures at her table they were all sold out . Give her a call she may have some more .

That is all the pictures above of the Carvers and Painters displaying their work - if interested in any of the carvings or paintings shown give them a call, if they have them sold I am sure you can talk them into carving or painting something that you would be proud to own in your collection .
