This week's guest is researcher Mikael Dumont. Mikael has been writing a paper about the Social Role of Celebration in the French Rural Communities of North America, 18th–19th Centuries. No one loves parties more than us at the French-Canadian Legacy, so Jesse sits down with Mikael to find out how our ancestors liked to celebrate. We hope you enjoy this episode!
