Mandeville Seafood Fest a big success
Visitors enjoyed great food and fireworks over the lake
 The Northshore hosts one of the area's biggest 4th of July celebrations every year -- the Mandeville Seafood Festival -- and this year was no exception. Held at Fontainebleau State Park, the 2009 fest welcomed thousands of visitors to hear great live music by the likes of Mark Chesnutt, Sammy Kershaw and Christian Serpas and Ghost Town (pictured). They also got to enjoy seafood and other regional specialties, shop for arts and crafts and watch an elaborate fireworks display over Lake Pontchartrain. We hope you’ll come be part of the fun next year.

| Word's getting out about Louisiana's Northshore
Magazines highlight culinary scene, attractions
 Watch for stories about the Northshore in at least three publications in July. National Geographic Traveler showcases the Northshore as one of its “Great Long Weekends,” the month’s cover story sharing details on “46 Places to Get Away From It All.” The feature calls our area “quietly beautiful” and “a trove of nature and small towns.” Meanwhile, AAA Southern Traveler focuses on Southern diners with a stop in at Mandeville’s delightfully retro Jukebox Diner. And Louisiana Cookin’ magazine announces its annual prestigious Chefs to Watch choices. Among them: Keith Frentz and Nealy Crawford-Frentz of the wonderful LOLA in Covington.
