On its way to becoming an annual tradition, the Michot family's birthday jam at their camp ' La Roue Qui Pend ' made for a great party. The tradition started in 2004 to celebrate Tommy, David and Andre Michot's birthdays, but the 2005 festivities were canceled by the hurricanes. The jam was reinstated this Memorial Day, south of Milton on the Vermilion Bayou. Tommy's brother Rick caught a wild hog last winter, and Tommy cooked up its hind quarter and served it up with a side of geese and plenty of cold beer and Cajun jamming. About 60 family and friends showed up for the indoor/outdoor event. "The food was great, of course, as was the company and the music, played by various musicians continuously throughout the afternoon and evening," says Tommy.
Saying farewell recently to Mike Sasser at Pat's Downtown were friends and associates Jolene Harris, Henry Florsheim, Rose Cormier and Sharon Broussard. Mike will be greatly missed, as he made his mark on Lafayette pretty quickly at The Fontana Center. When he arrived in town six years ago, he didn't know a soul, so he went over to Pat's Downtown and bought jello shots for the house. Needless to say, he made friends quickly. He also became involved in United Way of Acadiana, where he served as a loan executive and helped to raise more than $6 million in just two years. Party guests gave him a grand sendoff to Corpus Christi, Texas, where he'll work for Nabors Drilling, and Pat Dupuis didn't forget the jello shots!
