Celebrate
the Cross Cultural Influences of the OC and Louisiana Community Action
Partnership of Orange County hosts OC Cajun Food & Music Celebration for
the benefit of the OC Food Bank Garden Grove, CA
Community
Action Partnership of Orange County (CAPOC) will be hosting their first
ever OC Cajun Food & Music Celebration of benefit to its OC Food Bank.
The event will take place on Saturday July 15th, 2017 from 3pm -7pm at Mile
Square Park – Sports Field D in Fountain Valley, CA (16400 Brookhurst
Street, Fountain Valley, CA 92708). Admission to this event benefits the OC
Food Bank and more information on the event and affordable ticket prices
can be found at www.ocfoodbank.org/cajun.
A $10 online discount from the general admission price of $50 is available
using the discount code of Cajun10 prior to the day of the event. Admission
for children 5 and under is free.
This
first ever OC Cajun Food & Music Celebration to benefit CAPOC and its
OC Food Bank will host local restaurants, wineries, and breweries
highlighting their regionally inspired dishes and drinks, all celebrating
the amazing cross cultural influences of Louisiana and Orange County. All
attendees will have the opportunity to taste samples of food and beverages
from vendors, which is all included in the one admission price of your
ticket. For children and those not drinking alcohol, a lower price is
offered. The event features live performances from Grammy nominee Lisa
Haley and the Zydekats and Dennis G and the Zydeco Trail Riderz for a
family friendly music and dance experience. A shaded dance floor is being provided
along with tables, chairs and umbrellas.
Curtis
Gibbs, CAPOC Director of Planning and Fund Development who has travelled
extensively in Louisiana over the last ten years, has these observations:
“One major cross cultural influence between Louisiana and Orange
County are the respective Vietnamese communities resulting in Cajun
inspired seafood restaurants under Vietnamese ownership in Orange County.
For those that have experienced both, one will note differences in how
crawfish and shrimp are served back in Louisiana and here in Orange County.
Another interesting cross cultural connection between Louisiana and Orange
County is the introduction of Mexican food in the South early in the
1900’s, as a result of the Tamale Trail across Texas, Louisiana and
Mississippi, and such tamales can still be found to this day in Louisiana.
Thus, having Taco Bell as an event sponsor, fits into our theme of cross
cultural connections.”
Long
term funders of CAPOC and the OC Food Bank providing sponsorship for this
event include: the PIMCO Foundation, Taco Bell, SCAN Health Plan, and
Corporate Business Systems, Inc. As a media sponsor, the OC Weekly is
helping to market the event. The OC Food Bank is a program of Community
Action Partnership of Orange County. In 2016, the OC Food Bank distributed
more than 22 million pounds of food to vulnerable neighbors. For more
information, go to www.ocfoodbank.org/cajun.
Come out and celebrate with us!

*Report on the Portland Waterfront
Blues Fest—June 30-July 4
The fest was a grand success! There were
dancers from all over the country & the large dance floor was always
packed. The weather was near perfect.
The Revelers played Friday night plus there
was Cajun & zydeco all Saturday & Sunday w/ Chubby Carrier, Donna
Angelle, Pine Leaf Boys, The Revelers,
Jeffery Broussard, Cedryl Ballou &
TooLoose--plus there were dance lessons between each band set on the large
dance floor.
To top it off there was a back yard dance
& potluck party with Jeffery Broussard & the Creole Cowboys Monday
at Jamie Morgan’s home in Vancouver.
*Rhythm & Roots
Festival—Labor Day Weekend—Ninigret State Park, Charlestown, RI. Go to www.rhythmandroots.com
for all the details.
Don’t forget Steve Riley & the
Mamou Playboys play a pre-festival dance Thursday night, Aug. 31, 7:00 PM
at The Towers in Narragansett. Go to www.mamouplayboys.com for
details.
*Festivals Acadiens, Lafayette,
LA--Oct. 12-16
Our rate at the Ramada Inn on Evangeline
Thruway will again be $65 + tax/night. This rate will apply from
Wed., Oct. 11 through Mon., Oct. 16.
If you plan to arrive early or stay late, I
am sure the hotel will honor the same rate.
The hotel is holding 50 rooms/night for our
group, & may have additional rooms available if you are tardy in making
your reservation.
Our booking code is “Festivals
Acadiens Zydeco Group Rate.” The hotel front desk phone number is
337-233-6815.
If any issue when you call to book, ask to
be transferred to Lashea Dugas (337-408-2808)—Carla has
retired. If you continue to have problems booking, contact me at dickbrainard@gmail.com.
The breakfast is about to what it used to
be—the only difference is there are no large bowls of cut fruit,
& we have to serve ourselves with coffee from the large urn rather than
wait for someone to come around with a pot. The pool & spa were cleaned
for us the day we arrived last time. The rooms are the same, with some
basic repairs. All in all, it’s good to be back, plus able to park
near our rooms & not have to go inside & use an elevator.
Go to www.festivalsacadiens.com

*Terry & the
Bad Boys @ Feed & Seed Thursday at 9:00 PM

From Dana D
Hello all..Happy 4th of July..We
had a great dance last week to raise money for Beccarae Calato, who has
cancer..I do believe she is in Mexico as I write this seeking some other
types of non-Western treatments for her condition..We will wish her well,
and lots of people did on Friday night last..It was a very warm, receptive,
and appreciative crowd of people who came to show some love..the band was
cool too, w/Andre, Billy, Lloyd, Julius, Cj, and Timm from Andres and,
Motordude and the Flames..it sounded good too so thanks Andre for doing the
sound. and also to Lisa L..for doing yeoman's work as my toe is pretty much
cracked which is why I was in a boot..But the whole night was great.Really,
for those who missed it you missed a wonderful night..And Beccarae danced!!
so thanks again, oh and we raised over $2500 dollars for her, 800+ plus
from the Eagles, mine, Lisas and Bill Resnicks order..Thanks to all..
This weekend we have a very unusual
lineup in the terms of TWO SHOWS ON THE SAME WEEKEND..
First, Rusty Metoyer makes his
debut with his Band, Zydeco Krush, from Lake Charles, La..this is Rusty's
only time out this year, so come down and support him..music at 9..doors 8,
lessons 8:30..Rusty is a really talented guy who plays great..So show up!!
lol..and spread the word..
THEN ON SUNDAY, The Pine Leaf Boys
show back up to play their great mix of stuff..This is a really really good
band as well, and has played Eagles many times..they always put on a good
show..Doors 5, music 5:30 w/a potluck..we are doing 2 shows in one weekend
as that is how it is being scheduled and also I wont' do any next week due
to some personal matters I have to attend to..So come both times..For the
people who are always asking me about "new bands or out-of-town bands,
" here's two of the best and younger bands around..
Thanks all and have a nice 4th..
Thank also to Lisa Lee, who
again I wouldn't be able to make this happen if she wasn't around..
So help spread the love..We'll
see you soon..
