I spend the weekend in Morgan City. I attended the Shrimp and Petroleum Festival.
We started the weekend with a visit to the Morgan City Welcome center, where we got to meet the mayors of Morgan City, Berwick, and Patterson. Then we toured the Mr. Charlie, a portable oil rig that is now a museum. We watched the Children’s Parade. Then we spent the rest of the afternoon at the festival.
We started early Sunday morning with Church in the Park. Then we watched the Blessing of the Fleet from the water, where the new King and Queen toast to celebrate the festival. We ended our day with a parade through Morgan City.
Thank you Charlie Ann and Izzy Hernandez for the best weekend.
