Friends:

Eliana and I had a blast touring in Iberville Parish Libraries, one of our favorite library systems. Everyone there is so sweet! Our first show was at the main library in Plaquemine, Louisiana. We had a lot of kids from Kid Camp at our show and they really enjoyed the Hula! Thank you so much to Danny and Anne for inviting us back to the library every year!

Our second show was at the branch library in White Castle, Louisiana, home of Nottoway Plantation.

We had a nice crowd and the kids were great participants in the show. Kitty Wood, the branch manager, is always so welcoming.

On our second day in Iberville Parish, we went to the East Iberville Branch Library in St. Gabriel. Eliana and I missed the ferry by 1 minute and had to wait a half hour to cross the river. Fortunately, we arrived on time and set up just in time to welcome a huge group of day camp kids.

They enjoyed participating in the show and had a great time.

Our last show was in Grosse Tete/Rosedale at the Lion’s Club. We had a cozy crowd who really got into the show, especially when Eliana danced her fast-moving Tahitian!

What a fantastic time in Iberville Parish! We can’t wait to return next year! Special thanks to Danny, Anne, Kitty, Lydia, and Brenda for your hospitality. You rock!

Until next time…

Warmly, Dianne
