Lafayette’s Festival International Looking For Marketing Director

If I didn't already have my 'dream' job (and I don't mean a job at which I can take a nap), I would consider applying for this position!

(I wonder if they'll throw in the free t-shirt as a 'benefit'?) Wait, what? You can actually see this paragraph? I was just putting it in here as a 'filler' so that the Festival International line that you see below the picture would actually go below the picture. Before I put this paragraph in here, those words were right here, which isn't where I wanted them! So, I improvised!. I put this paragraph here with the intention of getting the rest of the post to 'fall into the right place', so -to-speak!!! (It looks like it worked!)
