The release party for “Louisiana in Words” will be held at the Maple Leaf Bar. Christian Champagne is one of the contributors to the book. Artist James Michalopoulos’ New Orleans Rum will help sponsor the event, so there should be plenty of free libations, plus a cash bar, as well as the live Dixieland Jazz of Some Like It Hot. Come spend the afternoon with us and have some fun!
