Historic Grand Cane’s 7th Annual Cruisin in Grand Cane took place on Saturday, October 20st. The weather was a mixed bag of light mist and very light rain. All in all, not the best weather for a car show, but 50 plus cars, trucks and tractors braved the weather and joined us in Grand Cane. Smaller than normal crowds still came to enjoy the food, fellowship and spectacular show gathered on Main Street.

Thanks to all who attended and supported our event. Mark your calendar for October 19, 2019 and make plans to join us for our 8th Cruisin’ in Grand Cane event.

This play is sure to keep you in stitches while celebrating the true meaning of Christmas. Two robbers are inadvertently thrown into the middle of a Christmas celebration. With each ring of the doorbell, they are in charge of more and more hostages until we begin to wonder who is holding who hostage. The laughs are nonstop and the characters are outrageous.
