Admission $22, Doors Open 6:30PM, Cajun dance lesson 7:00PM, Formed in 1995 when accordionist/singer Chris Stafford was 8 and fiddler Chris Segura was 11, Feufollet quickly became known as one of the most exciting Cajun bands in Acadiana, not because of their youth but because of their obvious musical ability and the vivacity with which they approached the traditional music of the area. Feufollet has built upon a regional popularity, becoming an attraction at folk festivals and performance venues not only in the South, but throughout the United States and French Canada.
Some quotes:
“They're just really a hot group,….their music is made for dancing; its hard to stay in your seat.”
"The melody's escapingly familiar, its Cajun with a Celtic tinge, and its Beausoleil-like drive catches you off guard.
"Everyone who saw this group... was blown away by their musicianship.”

We just made some significant changes:
1. Mitchell's Cajun Aces is having a free raffle donating a three hour performance at a location of your choice in the coming year. More info below.
2. Deferring to the interesting weather here in the northeast USA and not wanting to risk the odds after five or six rain free years, the wooden dance floor will be covered with a 30x60 tent. We will have fans and night lighting.
3. The Elks are allowing us to park a few RVs on their property. We expect to accommodate about six in with electric, six without. No constant water hookups or dumping available. PortaPotties and sink available. There is a single water connection that may be shared during non Danceathon hours. The RV parking spots are available for purchase on the website shopping cart. The price per night is $20 no electric, $25 with electric, both require the purchase of a weekend ticket. Parking starts 10Am Saturday, ends Monday by noon. Tent sites are not available in the area.
4. The Marriott hotel pool will remain open until midnight on Saturday.
5. The potluck and breakfast move into the pavilion and hall.
6. Although the Elks are still constructing the bathrooms in the hall, we have secured use of their indoor bathrooms in their lodge supplementing the PortaPotties and sink out front.
7. You may purchase beverages of your choice from the Elks at their full service air conditioned bar in the lodge.
8. We are getting "greener" using bulk ice water dispensers instead of bottled water. Bring your favorite mug or cup. (The bands continue using bottled water. Gotta have it.)
9. We are working on accepting credit cards at the door. There are many ATMs in the immediate area.
10. We will have tank tops and t-shirts available for purchase at the gate.
