The Success of Multiple Events

Yellow Leaf Festival & Audubon Fall Festival Collaborate by the Communications Committee

If you watched television this weekend, it's your own fault! No matter the age, you could have been out enjoying the Yellow Leaf Festival or the Audubon Fall Festival and heard live music, watched sky divers, mingled with artists and "carnies", viewed antique cars or "walked" in a cake walk. ( For those who didn't get a piece of Betty Ruth Rinaudo's carrot cake from the cake walk, we can only say, come next year!) The only complaint that I heard was that the town was busy. The merchants had good traffic and none of them were where the complaints were made. Naturally, our friends at Angola made their presence felt with the last Rodeo of the fall. Those that didn't have tickets, had something else to do! All of these work together to fill our restaurants, stores and hotel rooms where we collect sales tax that help pay for the services our government offers. These help make St. Francisville a better place to live and showcase some of the talents and "heart" that our Parish has. St. Jude's Children's Hospital will get a nice check; local artists and crafts people showcased, sold or gave their products to the public. Thank you merchants, Sheriff Daniels, Parish Police Jury, Mayor, Chief Fontenot, Parks, Hospital EMS and the "carnies", crafts and artists for making it all great!
