Christmas Bonfire Building Images In Gramery, La.

Sunday Ride 12-22-02

A cajun tradition for generations, over 100 bonfires are built like magnificent runway landing lights along the bank of the Mississippi river in Lutcher, and Gramercy, Louisiana. They are all lit on Christmas eve at 7:00pm to guide "Papa Noel" and his reindeer south, on into the houses of anticipation in bayou country.
