Nancy Weston writes: I regret to announce that there will be no 19th annual Mardi Gras Yankee-Chank swamp jam this year, 2012. I will not be going to Louisiana this February, and I was not able to find someone to run the event. Also, last year there was a problem with the boats used -- most of the boats had fixed seats, which do not work for jamming and dancing. Perhaps there will be an event in 2013. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for your support of the event in past years. It's been a blast! Info: (337) 228-2384
