Everyone is familiar with the Mardi Gras of New Orleans. But few people are aware of the traditional Prairie Cajun Mardi Gras, in the prairie regions of south Louisiana. This episode begins with a commentary of my experiences, two years in a row, with the Cajun Mardi Gras in Eunice, Louisiana. Then I interview Celeste Gomez: Director of the St. Landry Parish Tourism Board.
