THE 2016 PEPPER FESTIVAL POSTER was unveiled by artist Pamela Powers (left) with help from Kiwanian President George Choplin Jr. (center) and the 2016 Pepper Festival Queen Brittany Racheau at the annual Pepper Extravaganza held Aug. 27. This year’s poster represents 25 years of “Spicing Things Up” in St. Martinville. The artist used salvaged barn wood that were cleaned, planed, cut and burnt to create the canvas for this year’s piece. A cypress knee painted to look like a hot pepper is the focal point. Surrounding the pepper is art used for marketing past festivals. This year’s festival will be held Friday and Saturday, Sept.16-17 at the fair grounds along the Bayou Teche.(Sally Angelle)

A statue of Our Lady of the Assumption, patron of the Acadians, is carried at the head of a procession from St. Martin de Tours Church to Our Lady of Sorrows Chapel near the end of Monday’s Fête-Dieu du Teche. Fr. Michael Champagne, organizer of the annual event held on Aug. 15, follows carrying the Eucharist. Although Saturday’s flooding rain caused the cancellation of the flotilla down Bayou Teche, Bishop J. Douglas Deshotels opened the day with a Mass in French in Leonville. Recitation of the rosary and Benediction was held in each of the St. Martin Parish communities along Teche throughout the day, concluding in St. Martinville Monday evening.
