SUMMARY:CANDY CANE LANE - Calhoun\, LA
DESCRIPTION:Now TWO ways to enjoy the lights! Drive through in your vehicle or ride on one of our tractor-pulled hayrides \nFrom the Hansons: \n\n\n\n\n\nWe are the Hanson family: Ben\, Amy\, Parker\, Kaleb and daughter-in-law Adrienne with grandson Matthew\, Emily\, Tommy and daughter-in-law Abby with grandson Silas and granddaughter Maisie. Ben\, an East Texas native\, loved the family tradition of taking his young children to drive through local Christmas light parks every year. When he moved to Monroe in 2001\, he began to miss that yearly family experience. Ben has worked as a Material Inspector for various pipeline companies since 2007. While our family is thankful for the wonderful times we had traveling the country\, we grew weary of time apart and began to long to “put down roots” again. Out of this desire to return home to the Monroe area grew the dream of bringing the Christmas tradition Ben loved to Northeast Louisiana. \nIn 2016\, the Lord blessed us with the opportunity to purchase 52 acres for our future home. This beautiful wooded property with its rolling hills also provided the perfect setting for what would become Candy Cane Lane! After much prayer and planning\, in March of 2017\, Ben quit his job as a pipeliner and moved back home to begin work on our new endeavor. After many months of long hours and nearly round-the-clock work\, Candy Cane Lane opened its “doors” for the first time on Thanksgiving Day 2017. We had prayed so fervently that the Lord would bless our new adventure\, and we were blown away by the response from our first-time guests! \nOur hope is to continue to be a part of your family’s Christmas tradition for years to come\, and we are incredibly honored to have the privilege of providing this experience to each of you. Every smile from every visitor reminds us that we have the BEST JOB EVER!!! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your family’s Christmas\, and we hope to see you all again soon! \nMuch Love and Merry Christmas\,\nThe Hanson Family \n\n\n\n\n\nAdmission | Book Now \nYou can purchase online by clicking on the “Book Now” button\, or we accept cash or cards at the gate \n\n$25 Family Vehicle\n$50 Commercial Vehicle (Church van\, 15 passenger van\, etc)\n$12.50 per person for Hayrides (Children 2 and under free)\n\nDirections \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are located at 170 Hwy 151 N in Calhoun\, La.\nFrom Exit 103 on Interstate 20\, head west on Hwy 80 for approximately 2 miles. Turn right at the blinking light (Hwy 151). Our entrance will be straight ahead in the curve.

SUMMARY:MAMOU CAJUN MUSIC FESTIVAL
DESCRIPTION:MAMOU CAJUN MUSIC FESTIVAL 2025 Honoree – Mr. Fred Charlie​ | A full weekend of Cajun fiddles\, dance halls\, and fais do-do spirit in the music-rich town of Mamou. This cultural gathering keeps Louisiana’s French musical roots alive. \n“In the early 1970’s\, some of the citizens of Mamou grew concerned that our culture was dying. These people felt that there was a need  to renew the communities interest in our culture\, thus was born the Mamou  Cajun Day. In its beginning\, some 20 or so volunteers presented this  festival\, which was then sponsored by the Mamou Area Jaycees. In the early  1980’s\, this group officially became the Mamou Cajun Music Festival. All proceeds received are used to prepare and present  the next annual festival to ensure our Cajun Culture lives on. Our Special Thanks to all who attend and support our festival.”\nEVENT PAGE
