The cloth diaper community — yes, it exists — is coming together Saturday to celebrate Earth Day a day late and champion the use of cloth diapers by attempting to set a Guiness World Record for the most cloth diapers changed simultaneously.
Lafayette’s Tereson Dupuy, a.k.a. “The Mother of the Modern Cloth Diaper,” is working with eleMeNO-Pee sales rep. Pam Peters to make Lafayette one of more than 400 spots around the globe hosting a record-setting diaper-changing event.
Organizers say the initiative is a way to illustrate the environmental, financial and health benefits that come from switching to cloth diapers, also noting that cloth diapers reduce waste for families with diaper-bearing children by more than 50 percent:
This world record attempt is a great way to show the world how many people are already choosing and using reusable cloth diapers successfully. The intention is to raise awareness that cloth diapers are a viable option today.
The Great Cloth Diaper Change starts at 11 a.m. at eleMeNO-Pee on Ridge Road. Call Pam Peters at 212-1459 for more information.
Best of luck to the competitors. May the fabric — and fleeting fingers — be with you.

Would someone please tell me why David Vitter has been referred to as Diaper head? Or was it just a rumor??

Hahahah, it's because he has a predilection for wearing a diaper when he was with his "ladies" in the whorehouse. Good times. This news was widely reported outside of LA.

David Calhoun and Elizabeth “EB” Brooks are the first two employees of Lafayette Central Park Inc., the nonprofit charged with turning Lafayette Consolidated Government’s 100-acre Johnston Street Horse Farm property into a passive public park. Calhoun was named executive director, and Brooks is director of planning and design.
There will soon be a whole lot of shakin’ going on at Benny’s Sportshack Supplement Depot, a new concept by Opelousas native Benny Nele. Located at 2002 Johnston St., the supplement shop, smoothie bar and café, featuring hot off the press paninis and wraps, plans to open in late May.
This year’s Cool Town issue is all about people who are not native to South Louisiana but made a conscious decision to be here, to be among us, to participate in our culture and contribute to it.
A shelved ordinance transferring $200,000 from a northside drainage project to a south Lafayette development may not break any laws, but it stinks to high heaven.
An effort to restore a shuttered dancehall and document other vacant or razed honky-tonks could serve as a model for saving an endangered species of entertainment.
Lafayette’s gene pool has been host to a long line of eccentric characters who have blurred the lines between crazy, genius, disturbed and curiously entertaining.
