Here s a first look at Rougarou Fest s community quilt. See it in person Tuesday. A community quilt created at the 2019 Rougarou Fest in Houma designed to raise awareness about Louisiana s fight to save its eroding coast will be unveiled Tuesday. A public viewing is scheduled for 1 p.m. at the Bayou Terrebonne Waterlife Museum, 7910 W Park Ave. The quilt was scheduled to be unveiled in 2020, but the annual festival was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and state restrictions on public gatherings that could spread the deadly virus. Festival volunteers worked throughout 2019 to develop a quilt that would depict the loss of coastal wetlands and its impact on Louisiana communities like Terrebonne and Lafourche. Photographs were taken of large oaks that died from saltwater intrusion from the Gulf of Mexico in each of the five bayou communities of Terrebonne Parish. The dead trees silhouettes were then transferred onto fabric as the first step in creating the quilt.
