The weather was mostly cooperative this weekend as the Bayou Teche Black Bear Festival and the Bayou Teche Wooden Boat Show were held. Though showers emerged overnight Saturday and a cool front passed through, visitors were greeted by bands, vendors, games for the youngsters and 32 classic wooden watercraft. A photo feature will be in Wednesday’s edition of the newspaper. (Photos by Janell Parfait and Roger Emile Stouff)
