Styrofoam and bulls highlight of Lacoste festival

By Randy Smith

In Lacoste there is an annual festival with concerts, food and games. The game featured here consists of several people from the town in a ring with a bull. The people stood on barrels placed at each corner of a square man-made pool. The object of the game was for those on the barrels to fish out pieces of Styrofoam with a hook while another person tried to distract the 440 pound bull. The festival was a lot of fun and one the highlights of Lacoste so far. Each night they hosted a huge dinner with music afterward. I have never seen so many people in Lacoste at one time.
