Looks like a fun one to go to. http://www.bayouroundup.com/#lafayette It might be worth reading the guidelines real close especially for those traveling a ways http://www.bayouroundup.com/guidelines I've been to a lot of events that the venue doesn't allow outside alcohol on the grounds or open containers when spectators are on the grounds but don't remember one you can't take outside food to and that may crimp the budget of those with families or those who usually pack a lunch and non alcoholic beverages to keep costs down.
