Down town alive was a smash hit. We had a great location. everyone pitched in to help and we demonstrated the variety of trees available. We Danced, had fun and represented our group with a style that leaves a memory in the minds of the public.
The childrens museum was Amazing! We arrived at 9am and Setup. By 10 oclock we had over 200 people rush our little operation and leave with happy saplings and happier children. They were literally pushing eachother (kinduf funny) for the trees that we were running out of (fruit trees and river birtch). We took the fraternity guys out and made another run to the BVD to reload and ran out again by 12 oclock noon.
Artwalk was HUGE!. Thousands of people walking up and down the downtown area and everyone saw our amazing display for free trees. The Schuffelers showed up as well as many of lafayette "whos who" came to ask questions, visit and of coarse plant a tree for a great cause..... Save Louisiana.We fully plan on making this event a yearly on our to do calendar and our only hope is that next year we can make it even bigger that this year!!!
