October 4th 2009 Bayou Vermillion Festival
We connected with s.p.e.a.k on campus and are trying to make an alliance so we can have a presence on campus. The festival went amazingly well except that it rained hard. all day... More work with danica and the BVD proves well for us. Also the Unveling of the water shed exhibit transforms vermillion ville from just a museum city to a sience park.  Check out the Article.  http://www.theadvertiser.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?Avis=DG&Dato=20091004&Kategori=NEWS01&Lopenr=910040804&Ref=PH
