We had a great weekend in Natchitoches, Louisiana. Several people had told us we should visit there around Christmas time, as they are known as “The City of Lights” with events every weekend. One of the couples that was at the Cajun Gala also lived there and they showed us around town.
The town really goes all out for Christmas - this being their 93rd Annual celebration, with lighted decorations along the Cane River and bands performing along the river and on front street.
Saturday night we enjoyed seeing the boat parade of lights, where decorated boats cruised the river.
They also had a huge fire works show.. one of the best finales I’ve seen.
Lots of shopping including an old HW store (Kaffie-Frederick)that reminded me of the one my parents owned in Baton Rouge
We also walked thru the Christmas in the woods.
Beautiful lighted decorations and Christmas lights. While we were waiting in line we heard a Mom re-confirming with her child that this was for Christmas, not the Haunted woods, as it’s also used for (LOL)
On Sunday we went to the recommended Grayson’s BarBQ in Clarence LA.
A hole in the wall place with fabulous Barbecue. They are best known for their smoked whole hams.. selling over 3,000 of them at Christmas time - around 2,000 of them being shipped all over the country. John was lucky to find one to buy that wasn’t already reserved.
