Acadiana Chapter members enjoying the party on which they worked so hard

Cochon du lait is what our hosts called this party.  The roasted pig was delicious!

A zydeco band played great music

Rod Hendrick and Sandra Theall had the floor to themselves, until many tried Dancing with the AHS Stars...

...including our Executive Secretary and our Treasurer Val Longson and Walter Bisselle.  Even Lone Star's immediate past president Greg Graves showed some grace on the floor.
