There will also be live entertainment, i.e. music, dance, special appearance by Zydeco Recording Artist, Lil Nate, performance by The Bunk Johnson Brazz Band, and much more. Local Author, Daphne Monique Thomas, will perform an excerpt from her new book, entitled, “I Love To Imagine,” featuring “Charli”. The 3rd Battalion 23rd Marines Company, out of Baton Rouge, La, will be on site.
