Every year, they bring a bit of NOLA to East Texas in a wonderful way. The Mystics of Time also hold a Ball each year. Sadly, we were not invited this year, so no pictures. They always have live music and a bar. You can also byob. They're a great bunch of people.
Before the parade, there had been a progressive Cajun cooking taste tour (with wine, of course) across downtown Palestine. Different chefs demonstrated traditional Cajun cooking for the adventurous crowds. Wines from local to semi-local wineries were also there at each cooking location. It was fun. It followed the longstanding tradition at this time of year of the 5 F's: Food, Fun, Friends, Family, and Fermentation!

Things are really "cooking" in Palestine these days. There's usually something great going on around holiday time. come see for yourself.
