Relays, marches and flings



ESA's Spring Fling brought out Marilyn, Madonna, Ginger and Fred Saturday night.
It was a beautiful and busy weekend for events including the Relay for Life, the March for Babies and ESA's Spring Fling.

From tennis shoes and ball caps to shimmering cocktail dresses, the events all offered a chance to do some good in Lafayette.

Friday night was the Relay for Life to stop cancer. Volunteers gathered at Comeaux High School's football field for the 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. event and while I didn't stay all night, it looked as though they had enough snow cones, sausage and gumbo to last until the sun came up.

Saturday morning, the March for Babies took off in River Ranch's Town Square. The March of Dimes event aimed at bringing awareness to premature births sent marchers on a walk around River Ranch to show their support.

Saturday night's Spring Fling for the Epsicopal School of Acadiana brought out the "stars" beneath tents at the LITE Center including Elvis and Marilyn Monroe. But, perhaps the biggest stars of the evening were the well-dressed women. My favorites? Short, simple dresses encrusted with sequins and lemon yellow dresses that exuded the essence of spring.
