Krewe de Evangeline Coalition hosted the 2021 Youth Blast on Friday in Ville Platte.
The purpose of the event was to educate and inform participants about current youth related issues by equipping and empowering them to make positive and healthy behavior choices throughout the new school year, according to event organizers.
"We teach them so many different things," said Lorenzo Richard, Evangeline Parish Coalition coordinator. "The number one key is to live boldly as smart teens and the second thing is to bring them entertainment and education."
Youth Blast was held at the St. John Family Life Church from 1 pm to 2 pm.
