Festival Time

I have been remiss in writing this blog for quite a while. I just noticed the last blog I wrote was Feb 17th - the week before Mardi Gras and I haven't stopped moving since. Living in New Orleans, it seems time just flies by. Mardi Gras, Jazzfest -formally known as the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and a wide array of other festivals here in our fair city. This past Saturday, my husband and I attended the Greek Festival and Bayou Boogaloo - two festivals with lots of music and food. And while you may think we party alot in this city, it takes alot of work to produce these events. Many of them are done as volunteer work and to promote entrepreneurial ownership and for charitable causes. I invite you to check your local listings for upcoming events in your community and the next time you attend a festival, remember the money you spend there stays in your community and promotes entrepreneurship.
