Mason Felps Sets Stage for Rock the Country Festivals with CHAUVET Professional

Don’s Seafood is an institution around Ascension Parish, famous for its Zydeco Shrimp, Fried Allegator, and other Cajun delicacies. But it’s been a long time since Don’s did the kind of business it did on April 5th and 6th. According to its owner, the 90-year old restaurant saw more than $20,000 in additional sales that weekend. The story at Don’s was repeated throughout Gonzales, a town of roughly 13,000 people, as every place from the local hotel to the service station and cowboy boots store did more business. That’s exactly just what the folks at 46 Entertainment and Peach Tree Entertainment were hoping for when they put together Rock The Country, a series of two-day festivals intended to give an economic boost to seven hard-hit small towns across the South.Read More »Mason Felps Sets Stage for Rock the Country Festivals with CHAUVET Professional
