“Grand Gatherings have become an annual favorite for spending time with old friends or meeting new ones,” said Maureen Patton, executive director of The Grand, in an interview with GuidryNews.com at Grand Sun Splash on the Bayou. “Each year, our gracious hosts have offered a diverse selection of events, from casual to elegant and from finger food to fine cuisine." Listen

Grand Sun Splash on the Bayou was hosted by Bob and Gina Spagnola, Neil and Sandra Geary, David and Tonya Callender and Curt and Sharon Gillins.  Curt’s hot congas provided reggae music and guests were invited to participate in the drum circle.
