I'm old enough to remember with the CF was downtown and not in Parc Hardy. Lots of minorities now come in from Houston in droves and isolated to one little park area. Keep your head on a swivel baw.

Was lucky enough to go during this time. I don't remember much but do remember pulling a little red wagon around with us and having a cooler full of cheap arse Busch beer. I was a senior in high school. We went street to street and there was live music of every genre on different streets.I drank Hurricanes out of a bucket and my white shorts were red the next morning when I woke up with a hangover from hell. Not my fondest memory and proudest moment but me and my two buddies made it home taking the levee back to our small town and we were tore up from the floor up.

GOOD TIMES

Yep, the main band would set up in front of St. Bernard. It was truly a town festival back then out of an Ernest Hemingway novel, The Sun Also Rises. But then there was a death due to a fight and for liability purposes, the BB Chamber of Commerce had to change it to Parc Hardy early 90's. It went to shite after that as there was a big campaign push to get Texans to come over. Started with thousands from Orange and then moved throughout Houston. The locals mostly only go to the cookoff now.
