Fundraiser to Help Conservationists Preserve the Atchahalaya Basin

Lafayette, LA - There was a festive atmosphere at Artmosphere Bistro Sunday as the restaurant held a fundraiser to help conservationists to preserve the Atchafalaya Basin.  Area bands and artists joined forces with the Atchafalaya Basinkeeper project to host a Save the Basin fundraiser. Local bands such as Sweet Cecilia, recent Grammy-nominee Yvette Landry with Richard Comeaux, and Vermont's Easy Street performed at the event.  There was also a silent art auction with 10 percent of the proceeds going to Atchafalaya Basinkeeper.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
