THANKS, LIDIA!
We had a great time with famed Public Television Chef Lidia Bastianich during her visit to Baton Rouge on Saturday. She was very well-received at the Red Stick Farmers Market in Baton Rouge, an appearance on the air from 2:30 to 4:30PM and a special wine tasting that night at the home of John Hardy. (Reliable sources say the wine was delicious, too!) Thank you to everyone who shared a little Southern hospitality with Lidia!
LPB TO HOLD PREMIERE FOR LAFAYETTE: THE LOST HERO IN LAFAYETTE ON SEPTEMBER 8
LPB, Fondation Louisiane, the Marquis de Lafayette 250th Anniversary Committee and Lafayette Consolidated Government will host a special preview of the new documentary Lafayette: The Lost Hero on Wednesday, September 8 at the LITE (Louisiana Immersive Technologies Enterprise) Center located at 537 Cajundome Blvd in Lafayette.
Seating will begin at 6:30PM. The screening will begin at 7, followed by the main cocktail reception at 8PM. Café Vermilionville is providing the food and beverages for the event with Mello Joy providing the coffee.
The event is a fundraiser for Friends of LPB with part of the proceeds going to send an Acadiana area student to study in France through the auspices of Fondation Louisiane. The cost is a donation of $50 per person. To RSVP or get more information, call 1-800-272-8161, ext. 4289 or (225) 767-4289.
The documentary, which airs Monday, September 13 at 9PM, chronicles the life of Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, the Marquis of Lafayette. A major figure in both the American and French Revolutions, Lafayette was one of the most famous figures of his time. The program examines why a wealthy young aristocrat would voluntarily join the war to help a fledgling nation earn its independence. Much of the material from the documentary came from the letters and memoirs of his wife, Adrienne de Noailles, and General George Washington.
