The evening featured Master Musician Steve Robinson who wowed the audience with his talent of vocals that made you think ” Louis Armstrong ” was in the building.  The umbrellas came out when “The Saints Go Marching In” started to play and there was marching and partying around the room.  The night lived up to it’s annual theme ” Laissez les bons temps rouler” Let The Good Times Roll.
