Annual car show attracts crowd to Donaldsonville historic district

Classic cars and jeeps filled Louisiana Square with the Ascension Parish Courthouse serving as the backdrop for the annual show held April 12 in the parish seat’s historic district.

The more than 90 entries attracted a crowd of participants and spectators.

Red Tape Musiq, a band familiar with the city as it has played events in the past, provided music for the event.

Prizes were awarded and the registration fee was donated to a local food pantry.

Sponsors included Roux Physical Therapy, Elray Kocke, Inc., Ascension Clean Energy, CF Industries, Graugnard Inc., Ascension Credit Union and the Donaldsonville Downtown Development District.
