WHITE LINEN NIGHT- TOMORROW!!

Tomorrow the town of St. Francisville will be buzzing with one of the most "hometown" events ever! This will be the second year of "White Linen Night"!

From 5pm until 9pm, you can casually stroll the streets of St. Francisville and be thoroughly entertained the entire evening. There will be "special sales" at the shops with FREE delicious food to snack on, beverages, desserts, arts you will want to purchase, book signings and LIVE entertainment everywhere you go!!! You can even redeem your sales receipts for a free gift. So why no start your Christmas shopping now!

Laurie Walsh and the St. Francisville Main Street have organized with hundreds of local businesses, individuals, musicians, and talented artists just to name a few, to present the most enjoyable and relaxing evening you will not want to miss! If you thought last year was so successful, wait til you come tomorrow evening.

Load up the family and come to St. Francisville for a fun and relaxing family event that you only see on TV. This is better than Mayberry! Come feel and experience our lovely town- St. Francisville!

LA State Penitentiary Museum

The Justice Hall of Fame event was held in July, 2009 with a ribbon cutting and a reception at the Museum at LA State Penitentiary at Angola.
The Angola Museum will be set up in front of The Shanty Too on White Linen Night with samples of inmate art that is sold at the Angola Rodeo.

Tickets for the Angola Rodeo can be purchased by calling 225-655-2142. You may also schedule tours of the Prison by calling Marsha Lindsey, Director at 225-655-2592. Tours are scheduled Monday thru Friday each week for groups of 20 or more. Participants must be at least 12 years of age.


Farmer's Market Open Thursdays

The Farmer's Market is still open on Thursdays at the Fair Barn! There is still fresh produce, delicious baked goods and beautiful fresh flowers available. The market is open on Thursdays from noon until 5pm. Go by and support our local farmers.

September is Book Amnesty Month at the Library


Book Amnesty Month

September is Book Amnesty Month at West Feliciana Parish Library. This means those books and DVDs you were afraid to return are fine-free. That's right- all overdue fines will be forgiven the month of September. But there is a catch---each person is invited to donate a canned good at the library for the local food bank in lieu of your "over due book fee".

The library is open 9-7 Monday through Thursday, 9-6 on Friday and 9-1 on Saturday. Please call 225-635-3364 for more information.


Job Fair Scheduled

The Baton Rouge Career Solutions Center is having a veterans and general public "Job Fair" on Thursday, September 3, 2009. It will be held at the Baton Rouge Crowne Plaza Hotel (formerly the Holiday Inn Executive Center) at 4728 Constitution Ave in Baton Rouge from 9AM until 1PM.

From 9AM until 11AM is reserved for veterans and from 11AM until 1PM for the general public. For further information, please contact Bob Hartman at 225-922-1320 or email at rhartman@lwc.la.gov
