We have another weekend of storms headed this way over the weekend causing several events to be cancelled, postponed, or rescheduled so make sure to check out event calendar before deciding to head out anywhere with the family. Also, please be sure to stay connected to your sources for weather related news as we head into Saturday. Some areas could experience very little disturbances while others may not be so lucky. 

We are moving into the busiest time of year with spring events, Easter egg hunts, festivals, and the end of another school year. Remember you can submit your events directly to our calendar for review to share your news about upcoming family-friendly events in New Iberia, Abbeville, Breaux Bridge, St. Martinville, and Morgan City. 

We have a few hot pics that we'd like to highlight for our families to check out in this week's newsletter:
