Merci Beaucoup

Merci beaucoup... thank you… for your generous SUPPORT of  Le Bayou Legendaire non-profit organization for the Richard Sale Barn restoration.

​

Here is a brief update on the barn and the brick sale.

  • The back portion of the barn roof has been torn down (Phase I).

  • Phase II is the work needed to reopen the front theatre portion of the Richard Sale Barn. This work has been accomplished which allowed us to open with our Grand Opening Concert on April 11, 2026 (Mike Dean Band with special guest appearance Gabe Wootton)

  • However, to keep our historical status the back roof will have to be replaced. That will be part of Phase III.

Fundraising goes on with individual donations both small and large at GoFundMe and BrickMarkers.

​

The bricks will not be used for a patio but will be placed on the wall directly to the left as you enter the reception area.

​

At left is the ROUGH sketch done by the famous worldwide muralist Robert Dafford and shows how we plan to incorporate the bricks into an artistic design. The design will include a portrait created from a photo taken before WWII that includes the inside of the Barn with Johnny’s grandfather Avery Richard and his father John A. Richard II among the group.

It is only through the support of individuals and the community as a whole that we will be able to restore the cultural and musical legacy that the Richard Sale Barn in known for! 

​

Merci beaucoup encore,
Kathy and Johnny Richard
