LAFAYETTE PARISH (BROUSSARD) — Families turned out in force this weekend for the annual Community Fair in Broussard, a two-day event held in front of St. Cecilia School and Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church.
This year’s theme, “Once Upon a Time,” brought a storybook feel to one of the parish’s largest fundraisers.
The fair featured carnival rides, children’s games, raffles and a variety of local food booths. Parents and kids lined up early Sunday to take part in the tradition.
“[My daughter] Conway loves to ride the roller coasters, and [my other daughter] June loves to ride the motorcycles — mom and dad like to eat the gumbo,” Mike Crowson said.
The Crowson family are parishioners at Sacred Heart of Jesus and also have a daughter who attends St. Cecilia.
“It’s just a great fundraiser for the church community and the school community,” Crowson said. “We couldn’t be prouder of our church parish or our school.”
Tune in tonight at 10 p.m. to hear one employee’s courageous story of beating cancer — and returning to the fair.
