Troy & Jacob meet and greet Oct. 2nd






Two of the personalities from the hit show Swamp People will be on hand for Mack’s Prairie Wings annual Fall Festival. Troy and Jacob Landry will be available for a meet and greet with fans from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 2.
Ginger Holladay and Adam Fontenot, with Mack’s Prairie Wings, spoke to a sales representative that had been to an event that the Swamp People were at when the idea came to them.
“It sounded like a good fit for Mack's,” they explained. “We are very excited to host them and we hope that it will bring in current and new customers to see what we have to offer.”
Swamp People is a reality television series that debuted on the History channel on Aug. 22, 2010. The show follows the day-to-day activities for several Cajuns living in the Atchafalaya River Basin swamp in Louisiana, who hunt alligators for a living.
According to the History channel website, the show follows these swampers through a time of year that is crucial to their survival — the 30-day alligator hunting season.
At its core, this is a uniquely American story of a proud and skillful people fighting to maintain an ancient way of life in a rapidly modernizing world, despite the many perils and trials that stand in their way.
Although the show has several stars, both employees felt the father and son duo were the most popular with fans.
Autograph seekers are asked to bring at least one canned good item, which will be donated to Stuttgart’s ICCM Food Bank, Fontenot said.
“We are thrilled about our upcoming Fall Festival this year,” both Holladay and Fontenot said.
Along with the television personalities the fall festival will also include two four-day weekends. The first set for Thursday, Sept. 22 through Sunday, Sept. 25 and again Thursday, Sept. 28 through Sunday, Oct. 2.
Also a new feature will be the Bargain Blind, which will be located on the north side of the store eliminating the need for a tent.
“The grand finale of the weekend is bringing in the celebrities, which has never been done before at Mack's Prairie Wings,” they said. “We will have specialty gear for the event.”
