kennon fontenot: 4th in the World, 1st in the hearts of Lake Charles!
- 08/24/08 09:24 AM
Some would say that is was not a banner weekend for the team from South Lake Charles. Obviously, it would have been great to be watching our guys right now in the final game of the 2008 World Series. At the end of the day, the South Lake Charles Little League team spent all or part of their summer vacation doing something over 6200 teams could only consider in their dreams. And, along the way, they captured our hearts. They started by becoming the Louisiana Little League Champions. This was a significant as Louisiana has a host of talent, including our … (4 comments)
kennon fontenot: South Lake Charles Little League and the Hobo Hotel for Cats Auction
- 08/22/08 03:31 AM
Not satisfied with being the first team from Lake Charles Louisiana to advance out of Little League World Series (LLWS) pool play, the South Lake Charles (SLC) Little League team took a shot at the semi-finals last night and won 6-1 against the team representing the Southeast region, Tampa, Florida.

kennon fontenot: Photos of the Fontenot Family enjoying Williamsport
- 08/21/08 08:40 AM
Kennon Fontenot's mom, Shelley Fontenot, provided me these "misc" photos today from Williamsport and Lamade Stadium. I've always thought of Shelly Fontenot as kind and considerate, but the photos I am having to endure that illustrate all the fun they are having borders on cruel and unusual punishment! Because of her son, Kennon, I'm hooked on Little League and would much rather be in Williamsport. Reminder, South Lake Charles plays Tampa, Florida in the US Semi Finals tonight.
The picture below really strikes me! While I'm entertaining Trooper, the Ryder's lovebird and their two cats, taking litter box duty, … (2 comments)

Besides writing a bit about my listings and services, I enjoy sharing information about Lake Charles, Southwest Louisiana, and The Margaret Place Historical District and general real estate.
