Rayne, LA is known as the Frog Capital of the World. It is one of Louisiana's Mural Cities, with frog murals all over town. My son loved the paintings that featured everything from nature scenes to frogs playing pool. In late summer, Rayne hosts its annual Frog Festival. I didn't make it to the famous amphibFest, but I did happen to venture in to town during the annual car show.
My hometown, Pismo Beach California, has a car show each year that closes off all of the main streets in town. It is huge and gets hundreds of thousands of visitors. Rayne's car show was not like that. They had one short block of street shut off. Cars lined both sides and zydeko music blared along with '80's funk. In all, about two dozen cars were featured.
Some cars seemed to be straight off the lot, while others were garaged beauties from the '40's. A table near the DJ’s booth held the trophies. There must have been enough trophies for each participant to receive one.
The town is really charming, and doesn't require an excuse to be visited.
