The Cane River Feu Follet has made her appearance ✨
The legend of the Creole Fairy - the Fee Folay - (feu follet in French translates to “marsh fire”) began here along the bayou many years ago. They are generally thought to be an incarnation of the natural occurrence of the ‘will o wisp’ which can appear as a phosphorescent ‘ball of fire’ typically in marshy areas such as bogs and swamps. The lights were known as fairies and sometimes the ghosts of loved ones.
Be sure to visit her while she is on Front Street for the annual Crows on the Cane scarecrow contest!
