In Today’s Edition
Happy Monday, Lafayette!
I left everyone hanging last week under the “Events” section last week. You can see what I said below ⬇️
New Year’s Eve gatherings and dinners around downtown Lafayette (check venues for details)
As you can see, that section was not super helpful. So, I want to send you a list of things to do on NYE with some event info. You can find that in the next section of the email.
Personally, I won’t be out on NYE (small kids at home) but I’d love to hear what you all are doing!
What are your NYE plans?
