Let's Celebrate!

When you think of December, CHRISTMAS usually comes to mind.  For us here at Orange Leaf Louisiana, it will be the season of GRAND OPENINGS!  We will start our month off with the Natchitoches Ribbon Cutting on Friday the 9th at 10am & Grand Opening Bash on Saturday the 10th which will be an ALL DAY AFFAIR!   Although the Festival of Lights is happening this weekend in Natchitoches, our little grand opening party might be thought of as small to a newcomer, but those that are in the FREAUX YEAUX know realize, our BASH's are anything but small!  We will hold facility tours after our Ribbon Cutting for those that might want to see behind the "Wizard" curtain!  At first glance, the nuts and bolts seem a little overwhelming with red & blue tubes going everywhere, but with careful attention to detail, our team can explain just how everything works!

 Opening Day in Natchitoches

On Saturday the 10th, there are so many things planned it's hard to know where to start!  Santa will be at the store from 11AM until 3PM to hear the children's wishes for Christmas.  From 3-5 PM, we will have a Balloon Twister to amuse young minds while they eat their Freaux Yeaux mix.  From 4-8PM, a face painter will be on deck to create art masterpieces on the children's (and Adults) faces!  All day events include: A Contest to win a KODAK PLAYSPORT CAMERA and a $50 and $25 Orange Leaf Gift Card serving as 2nd and 3rd prize. Guess the number of Jellybeans in the Jar and win a $10 gift card.  Guess the weight of your Freaux Yeaux and receive it free.  And to polish things off, a Coloring Contest with 5 age groups.  Each group will have one $10 Gift Card winner.  Grand Opening Cake from the Sugar Shack, and Cake Pops from Katie Bakes will be the perfect complement to your favorite Freaux Yeaux swirl!  Sounds like fun, right?

The very next weekend, we will hold our Mandeville Grand Opening Party.  Starting the weekend off with our Ribbon Cutting on Friday, December 16th, at 10am, we will have facility tours, Grand Opening Cupcakes from Cupcakes 'N Cream & Cake Pops from Katie Bakes, and our entire Orange Leaf LA team will be on hand to answer any questions and greet our guests before the doors open to the public at 11am.  That same day, we are participating in the St. Tammany Macaroni Kid Christmas Party at Mandeville Karate from 4-7PM.  We will be handing out 300-500 FREE 4 ounce Freaux Yeaux cups and also will have toppings to add as well.  Click this link if you would like to RSVP. St. Tammany Macaroni Kid Christmas Party

On Saturday, December 17th, we will hold our Grand Opening Party starting at 11am.  Like Natchitoches, we will be raffling the KODAK video camera and gift cards.  Also, the ALL DAY activities and prizes are the same.  Santa and Mrs. Claus will be on hand from 3-6:30 pm to twist balloons and paint your faces.  The MAIN Event will be the SAINTSATION appearance from 1-5 PM.  They will sign autographs and take a picture with you so make sure to bring your camera. We will also serve FREE Freaux Yeaux during their appearance.  YES, we said FREE!  If you haven't gotten the chance to swing by to taste it, here is your chance.  

So, like we said, Let's Celebrate!  Freaux Yeaux Style!  See you soon!
