SUMMARY:Tri-State Cruisin' Cajun Country Car Club

They’d like to thank my administration for once again working closely with the club over the past nine months to ensure a successful visit. Special thanks to Cajun Coast Tourism for coordinating the club’s excursions in both Franklin and Patterson.\nThey’d also want to thank the Franklin Merchants Association for always being ready to serve and greet friendly faces.\nIt’s going to be a great day for everyone involved!
