"Hey, maybe they'll be doing giveaways for free passes there. If I see some I'll try to snag some for you," Jaune said. It wasn't unheard of for the festival to have promotions like that. One year he and his mom had the idea to pass out stamp cards at the festival for customers to try and earn a free order of beignets. Maybe they should have done that again this year, as it had been very popular, but it was a little late to be making those decisions now.

"But at least you won't have to work the whole week--it's good to get to experience the festival too. I'm sure if anywhere is going to have plants that are easier for allergies it will be here."
