Bayou Boogie says good-bye after 18 years
It's the end of the line for a popular yearly event that draws Canadians across the border. The annual Bayou Boogie at the Grand Portage Lodge and Casino in Minnesota, has been cancelled after 18 years. It featured a wide range of Cajun culture straight from Louisiana and was held every Labour Day weekend. It attracted hundreds of people from Thunder Bay. Enterprise Administrator Steven StandingCloud says the decision was made because the Lodge is losing money on the Boogie.
