And All That's Good Has Come to An End

Just as it begins, Contraband Days has come to another end today. As always, it was a relax and easy day. We loaded the Bon Temps to make a final parade. As we approached the seawall, we unloaded to board a boat. In true tradition, Jean Lafitte boarded a boat with a few pirates, his queen, and his wife to leave the shore of Charlie's Lake.

We'll pack up our costume and loot. We'll hang up the hats, guns and swords to await another year. We'll return on the occasion to a Swashbucklers game or for the occasional raid. But we'll be back. We'll be back next year ready to take over the fair city of Lake Charles once again.
