Food, games, rides, exhibits, dancing, music, and competition at Contraband Days are a few of the reasons to Indulge Yourself This year’s Contraband Days Fes- tival was the biggest and best Lake Charles has ever seen, with people from throughout the state and na- tion jamming the Civic Center grounds for two fun-filled weeks of activities. Kicking off the festivities was the annual Contraband Days parade which began with the landing of the pirate king, Jean LaFitte, and his party at the Civic Center. The pirate crew promptly captured the entire city, dunked a few people in the lake, and led the all-conquering pa- rade through the streets of down- town Lake Charles. A spectacular fireworks display by Merit Harbor Lights capped off the evening by flooding the Lake Charles area with burst of colored light and illuminating the boats on the lake. Landlubbers lined the lake- shore and boaters dropped anchor for ‘front row’’ seats as the explo- sions went off directly overhead. Other events of note were the crawfish race, a bathtub race, and a five-miler, which attracted hundreds Continued The Contraband Days Matt Armstrong Carnival, which includes rides and side- shows, is a popular attraction for McNeese students and local residents. Carnival go- ers enjoyed the fair for two weeks in May. (Photo by G. Edwards) é 55 oe b » ey coos hte oy Bee Pash 48 Student Life
