Catherine Blanchet’s life work to be honored on Jan. 7 in Abbeville
Mayor Mark Piazza and the Abbeville City Council have declared January 7, 2022, as Catherine Brookshire Blanchet Day.
In the 1940s, Catherine documented songs and round dances in French by recording school children and adults when she was the music supervisor of Vermilion Parish Schools. She dedicated the rest of her life to teaching and sharing this treasury.
