Our very special features are:  Antique appraiser Michael Wynn, Vitalant (United Blood Services) for blood donors, a treat from the Louisiana Seafood Marketing and Promotion commission through the office of the Lt. Governor Nungesser, and KVPI will be live from 10 am – noon! Our final lineup of participants are: Authors – Debbie Lawson, Chris Fontenot, Rhonda LeJeune, Bill Sumrall , Larry Jorgensen and Jessica West.  Cooks – T’Nay Arvie and Cafe Evangeline.
