Pictures from Lafayette, LA

Their first tournament was a success, with 25 doubles teams and wonderful weather.
Winners were Collin & Steve, with Hassam & John in second place. All from Lafayette. Tomie & Gordon who drove in from Baton Rouge took third place.

The day before Mayor Joe Durel officially opened the new terrain in Girard park, with an inaugural game with Bernard Champey, who had brought special "fleur-de-lys" boules for the occasion.

Well done, guys! Looking forward to more Louisiana petanque events.
