40&8 St. Tammany Voiture Locale 224 hosted a short two day get away to the Paragon Casino Resort located in Marksville, La.  The tickets were $55.00 per person which entitled the holder to a round trip bus ride, a very nice room for one night, $25.00 gaming credit and a $10.00 meal coupon.

We met at the Robert H. Burns American Legion Post Parking lot at 11:00 AM on February 12, 2012 and departed. On the way we played Bingo with Mike Peats calling the balls.

Good food was enjoyed at the Market Place Buffet, Big Daddy E's Cajun Grill and Roxy's Diner. We enjoyed gambling and a stroll through the bayou themed Atrium with live alligators.
