[ Christmas Lights at Lafreniere Park ]
[00:00:04]
HI, THIS IS PARISH PRESIDENT CYNTHIA LEE SHANK.
WE JUST TURNED ON THE LIGHT FOR OUR CHRISTMAS LIGHTS IN LAIER PARK.
AND OUR INCREDIBLE TEAM OF LAIER PARK EMPLOYEES REALLY DESIGN ALL THESE LIGHTS, AND IT'S THEIR IDEAS.
AND EVERY YEAR THEY KIND OF DO A NEW INSTALLATION.
AND I'M STANDING IN FRONT OF THIS YEAR'S NEWEST INSTALLATION WITH MARSHA, WHO IS OUR MASCOT TO HELP PROMOTE COASTAL RESILIENCE ISSUES.
AND MARSHA IS RECYCLING A CHRISTMAS TREE.
SO AS YOU START BUYING YOUR TREE AND DECORATING YOUR TREE, DON'T, DON'T FORGET YOU WANNA HOLD THAT TREE.
WE'RE GONNA PICK IT UP ON FEBRUARY 24TH OF NEXT YEAR SO THAT TREE CAN GO BACK INTO THE BARATARIA BASIN AND HELP STRENGTHEN OUR COAST.
SO WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE THIS NEWEST INSTALLATION HERE AT LAFA PARK.
MARSHA, WHO IS ACTUALLY RECYCLING A CHRISTMAS TREE.
OUR LAFFER PARK STAFF ACTUALLY BUILDS ALL THE LIGHTS.
THERE'S 10 MILLION LED LIGHTS THAT BRING US THIS INCREDIBLE INSTALLATION OF CHRISTMAS LIGHTS, AND OUR STAFF DECORATES IT.
ACTUALLY TODAY, THEY JUST ADDED A MERMAID ON THAT SHIP OVER THERE, SO THEY'RE WORKING ON IT THROUGH THE LAST MINUTE.
THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.
SO I JUST WANT TO THANK THEM AND ALL THE DEPARTMENTS WHO ARE GONNA SUPPORT CHRISTMAS IN LAFA NEW PARK THIS YEAR.
