Food and fun with a Louisiana flare is what Missouri Western’s Alumni experienced at this year’s 2nd Annual Griffs on the
Bayou event.
The event was held at Boudreaux’s Louisiana Seafood & Steaks last Tuesday, Feb. 19. Over 130 alumni made reservations
to attend, making it a bigger success than last year, which only had about 100 alumni in attendance.
The event was originally to take place on Fat Tuesday, Feb. 5, but due to inclement weather the event was rescheduled.
“We really wanted to keep with tradition and have it on Fat Tuesday, because it was a Mardi Gras themed event, but the
weather so poor. They had cancelled classes that day on campus, so we thought it was best to err on the side of caution,”
Jason Horn, Alumni Association President said. (Full story)
