Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser praises the Shreveport-Bossier area for the record setting success of the just completed Mudbug Madness Memorial Day Festival.
The festival, back this year after a year hiatus because of the COVID pandemic, returned with record numbers of attendees, with Saturday night crowds estimated to be in excess of 10,000. Unbelievable! We made a commitment to promote and support festivals anywhere in the state, because we can t afford to have any event not be a success, says Nungesser, It s been an incredible success and great successes all over Louisiana. We re back open for business and I think we re going to bounce back a lot faster than people think.
