New Orleans Fair Grounds Memories Promo
Before it became officially known as the Fair Grounds in 1872, it was used not only as an early race track but also for exhibitions, boxing and baseball games.
During the Civil and Spanish-American War the site was used as a campground. Union Gen. George Armstrong Custer raced horses there, and one of the more notable visitors through the years was President Ulysses S. Grant.
Among the many celebrated horses that will be remembered is Risen Star, a Louisiana thoroughbred that won the 1988 Louisiana Derby and went on to capture the Preakness and Belmont Stakes.
NEW ORLEANS FAIR GROUNDS MEMORIES looks at some of the owners, trainers and jockeys that have contributed to the track’s rich history, including Allen “Blackcat” LaCombe, the legendary handicapper and publicist for the Fair Grounds Race Course for over thirty years. Also profiled are Joe Brown and his wife, Dorothy Dorsett Brown, who had a stable of over forty horses at the Fair Grounds. After Mr. Brown’s death, Mrs. Brown continued breeding and running her horses locally and at tracks around the United States for over twenty years.
Along with rare films and photos, the show will feature interviews with Bryan Krantz, former Fair Grounds owner; Tom Amoss, one of the leading trainers at the Fair Grounds; and Evelyn Benoit, thoroughbred owner and breeder, who has one of the largest stables at the racecourse.
Additional interviews are with former jockeys, Ronnie Lamarque, co-owner of Risen Star; journalists Angus Lind and Ronnie Virgets; and New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival Executive Director Quint Davis, to name just a few.
With a season that opens officially around Thanksgiving and ends close to Easter, going to the Fair Grounds has been a tradition for many local families. During such hallmark days as Thanksgiving and the Louisiana Derby, many female track patrons wear hats.
Also explored are the hurricanes, fire and bankruptcy that the Fair Grounds withstood. According to Angus Lind, “I think the Fair Grounds historically has meant a lot to the city of New Orleans. The Fair Grounds was racing horses before Churchill Downs was built, before the first Kentucky Derby was run. So we’re talking about a lot of history here. It’s in a completely urban setting, and now for many years we’ve had the Jazz Fest there, which has become a big part of this city too. So between the racing and the Jazz Fest, I’d say the Fair Grounds is a very valuable asset to the city.”
NEW ORLEANS FAIR GROUNDS MEMORIES is produced and narrated by Peggy Scott Laborde. Editor is Larry Roussarie. Associate producers are Ashli Richard and Kelsi Schreiber. Photographers are Paul Combel and Lenny Delbert. Original music by Kevin George.

NEW ORLEANS....VOODOO STILL EXIST!
NEW ORLEANS....VOODOO STILL EXIST!
NEW ORLEANS - is a Louisiana city on the Mississippi River, near the Gulf of Mexico. Nicknamed the Big Easy, it's known for its round-the-clock nightlife, vibrant live-music scene and spicy, singular cuisine reflecting its history as a melting pot of French, African and American cultures. Embodying its festive spirit is Mardi Gras, the late-winter carnival famed for raucous costumed parades and street parties.
No city in North America can compete with New Orleans when it comes to culture, food, historic architecture, joie de vivre and tourism options.
The Crescent City has suffered plagues, wars, imperial regime changes and devastating floods. Yet, it always wakes up with a smile on its face. This may be because its inhabitants step to an easy beat first laid down three centuries ago. Moving at this relaxed pace, visitors are delighted by the French Creole elegance of the Vieux Carre (French Quarter) or the opulence discovered in a streetcar ride through the Garden District and Uptown.
Anytime of year find live music, amazing Creole and Cajun cuisine, fresh seafood, farmers markets, shopping, nightlife and more. During Mardi Gras season, the city becomes the world’s center. Downtown transforms into an adult playground, while parades in residential areas provide children thrilling entertainment. Each spring, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival moves the focus to the charming Gentilly area and the Fair Grounds Race Course. But no matter the time of year, New Orleans' calendar overflows in celebration.
History
CAFE Du MONDE -The Original Cafe Du Monde Coffee Stand was established in 1862 in the New Orleans French Market. The Cafe is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It closes only on Christmas Day and on the day an occasional Hurricane passes too close to New Orleans.
. Its menu consists of dark roasted Coffee and Chicory, Beignets, White and Chocolate Milk, and fresh squeezed Orange Juice. The coffee is served Black or Au Lait. Au Lait means that it is mixed half and half with hot milk. Beignets are square French -style doughnuts, lavishly covered with powdered sugar. In 1988 Iced Coffee was introduced to the cafe. Soft drinks also made their debut that
BOURBON STREET - Noisy. Raucous. Nocturnal. For many New Orleans visitors, Bourbon Street embodies the life of a party town. The street is lit by neon lights, throbbing with music and decorated by beads and balconies. Named for a royal family in France and not the amber-colored alcohol, Bourbon Street has become a place for revelry of all sorts. With its windows and doors flung open to the wandering crowds, it should be no surprise that the famed sidewalk strolling libation known as the “go cup” was invented on Bourbon Street, according to Tulane University historian Richard Campanella. Many things change in New Orleans, but the color and excitement of Bourbon Street never falters.
ST LOUIS CATHEDRAL - The St. Louis Cathedral is one of New Orleans' most notable landmarks. Few cities in the world are so identified by a building as is New Orleans. The city is instantly recognized by our cathedral and its position overlooking Jackson Square.
This venerable building, its triple steeples towering above its historic neighbors, the Cabildo and the Presbytere - looks down benignly on the green of the Square and General Andrew Jackson on his bronze horse and on the block-long Pontalba Buildings with their lacy ironwork galleries. Truly, this is the heart of old New Orleans.
The Cathedral-Basilica of St. Louis King of France is the oldest Catholic cathedral in continual use in the United States.
As the caretakers of the Historic place of worship, we constantly battle the elements and the aging of the Cathedral with ongoing conservation and restoration. We invite you to become a Friend of the St. Louis Cathedral and help this national historic landmark remain the centerpiece in the great history of New Orleans!
VOODOO - Every year now, The Voodoo Experience, with its taglines “join the ritual,” and “worship the music,” pegs its calendar to Halloween. This has become a tradition in New Orleans, much like All Saints’ Day, when families head to the graveyards of the French Quarter and beyond to whitewash and sweep the tombs clean and decorate them with fresh flowers.

The things that make life worth living – eating, drinking and the making of merriment – are the air that New Orleans breathes. We hope you’re not reading this at home. We hope you’re in New Orleans, because you’re about to eat better than most others. When it comes to food, New Orleans does not fool around. Well, OK, it does: its playful attitude to ingredients and recipes mixes (for example) alligator sausage and cheesecake into a dessert fit for the gods. This sense of gastronomic play is rooted in both deep traditions – truly, this city has one of the few indigenous cuisines in the country – and, increasingly, a willingness to accommodate outside influences, both in terms of technique and ethnicity.
We're not exaggerating when we say there is either a festival or a parade every week of the year in New Orleans. Sometimes, such as during Mardi Gras or Jazz Fest, it feels like there’s a new party for every hour of the day. At almost any celebration in town, people engage in masking – donning a new appearance via some form of costuming – while acting out the satyric side of human behavior. But the celebrations and rituals of New Orleans are as much about history as hedonism, and every dance is as much an expression of tradition and community spirit as it is of joy.

STORYLINE:
The suburbs of New Orleans are starting to show signs of life. In Kenner, stores and services are starting to open up throughout the town. This, despite the fact that residents have only been allowed to officially return for two days.
A pizza store is open, drug stores are offering limited hours, and among all the repairs the post office is open.
It will be a couple of days before mail gets delivered throughout Kenner's shattered neighbourhoods. But residents can come get their mail.
The head of the local branch, Charley Kindelor, is upbeat about people's spirits and the prospects for recovery. Kindelor says that surprisingly enough, people are most anxious to pay their bills.
Many of the customers are not so optimistic. They are wading through possessions that spent more than a week underwater. And their view of their short-term future is uncertain.
The future of one of the towns' big businesses is not so uncertain. Major damages appear to the grandstands of the Kenner Fairgrounds Race Course.
No one is currently tending the track and all of the horses were moved to safer territory well ahead of the hurricane.
The racing season here finishes at the end of July. Churchill Downs Incorporated is now in contact with more than 70 percent of its 500 Louisiana employees who scattered to areas around the country in the evacuation of New Orleans prior to Hurricane Katrina's arrival.
The track is busy raising money for employees and other Hurricane Katrina victims, and claims it will rise again.
Meanwhile other residents of Kenner are preparing for more water. Tarps are available for anyone who has 50% roof damage, and with some dark clouds still overhead, they may come in handy.

Death of 4 Fair Grounds horses leads to possible reforms, leaving some horse owners weary
Churchill Downs officials are now speaking on the record about four thoroughbred racehorses that recently died in a span of 6 race days at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans.
Executive Director of Racing Mike Ziegler said LSU has begun performing tests to determine what killed the animals.
Fatalities on the race track are multi-factorial, Ziegler said. It has nothing to do with one specific problem. It could be anything from the surface to pre-existing conditions to just freak accidents.
