2008 Buddy Walk

 
Our 4th Annual Buddy Walk was held on October 25th, 2008 at Parc International, downtown Lafayette.  The weather was perfect again this year.   We had around 1800 walkers and 39 teams, we are still working on the numbers, but the Parc was packed !   There was fun and food everywhere ! 

This years entertainment was Melissa Stevenson and then The Andy Smith Band.   What a treat for everyone.
