The 70th Annual Delcambre Shrimp Festival Queen Alaina Barras stands in the place of the letter, “I.” Barras, with a group of Delcambre volunteers, helped to make the wooden sculpture, “SHR MP” in time for the Shrimp Festival.
Alaina Barras (next to M) stands with some of the Delcambre High woodworking students who helped cut out the letters during school last school year.
Here are the local artists who are standing by the letters they painted. Blair Blancard painted the letters “S” and “H.” Lexi Renard stands next to the letter “R.” Jessica Touchet stands next to the letter “M.” Kassie Duhon stands next to the letter “P.”
Shrimp Festival queen creates shrimp sculpture minus a letter
DELCAMBRE - Delcambre Shrimp Festival Queen Alaina Barras wanted to do something to help bring back the Delcambre Shrimp Festival with a bang.
The festival has been canceled for the last two years because of COVID-19. It will take place on Aug. 17-21.
Back in April, Barras came up with the idea of making a three-dimensional wooden sculpture of the word “Shr mp.” However, the letter “I” was left out of the word for a reason. People could stand and fill in for the “I” when they take a photo.
