Bonanza

Parish: Vermilion

Location: Kaplan

Paul Breaux: “This is a place, that was very popular for a long time. It’s located on Hwy. 14 (1st) and N. Jackson, and had an old cafe that NEVER closed, next to it, named the Vermilion. This place was so popular, as I said, that my 1970 High School Graduation party was held there. Later on, other clubs opened and competed, but the Bonanza to me, at least, was the best place in Kaplan for those my age. It is now the Broken Spoke Saloon.”
