WELCOMING MONSIEUR JACQUES: The staff of the Rayne Acadian-Tribune welcomed the newspaper’s newest addition after it was delivered by city electric department workers on Friday morning. Pictured in front, from left, are Josie Henry and Chad Hebert, while in back, from left are Brenda Delhomme, Paul Kedinger, Norma Duhon, who painted the concrete frog, and Lisa Soileaux. Christened “Monsieur Jacques,” the statue is one of 10 located throughout the city by the Rayne Beautification Board to promote the city’s reputation as “The Frog Capital of the World.”
The concrete figures are painted and are being erected on a foot high granite pads at ten locations in the city.
The frogs will be located in front of the Rayne Acadian-Tribune, Rayne City Hall, South Rayne Elementary School, Rayne Catholic Elementary School, Sadie’s Flower Shop, Gossen Funeral Home, the Rayne Independent, Chef Roy’s Frog City Café (courtesy of Notre Dame High School), Dr. Patrick Briese, and the Rayne Post Office.
