"Springtime in New Orleans" Sunday, March 29, 2009 -- Jesuit Yard/ Traditions Courtyard

In a surprise move, Fr. McGinn takes to the stage and joins the Bucktown All-Stars in a rousing rendition of his favorite country song, the name of which is... not really important. To tell the truth, Fr. McGinn is actually announcing the winner of the raffle and thanking all of the Bazaar workers. (It’s almost April’s Fool Day!)
Until next year’s Bazaar, parting is such sweet sorrow.
