The Bayou Boogie is a yearly Northwoods Mardi Gras. But we've found it's way more family oriented. It's more about the music and the food (which is absolutely delicious!) versus the beer and "other things". Amanda Shaw has played here several times, which was a treat. But this year it was some other young gal, a blues singer. I guess Amanda is getting too "old" to be special anymore. A shame, for she was a great fiddle player.
Our family went with a few friends: John and Brook and their two kids (Boston and Trinity); and Danielle who was babysitting two year old Emma. We started out the late afternoon hiking up at High Falls (the Highest Waterfall in MN). Then down onto the Bayou Boogie at the Grand Portage Casino. Sunday is the best day to go we've discovered this year. Not as many people.
Here's a few videos to demonstrate some great dancing!
Love the dancing! Looks like it was a lot of fun!
