Hundreds of festival goers stopped by to register for the Rain Barrel donated by the Lafayette Consolidated Government - Environmental Quality.They also suggested neighborhoods that might be interested in the Storm Drain Marking Program. This will be the first of many to create an awareness of local water issues.
