What an amazing event held by the US Navy! I am honored to have been invited by the Lieutenant Governor, Mr. Billy Nungesser, to be apart of such a cool event. We got to eat some amazing food and snowballs, listen to the Navy Band perform, and watch boats pass by the pier! ⚓️🚢⚓️🚢

We would like to extend a special thank you to Stuart Adams and Katie Paige, volunteers from Citizen’s Bank who counted and determined the funds raised from this year’s Paper Queen Pageant. This would not be possible without them!

We would like to wish the Washington Parish Balloon Festival a happy and successful upcoming weekend!
If you need plans, come to the Washington Parish Fairgrounds to see hot air balloons take flight, eat lots of yummy food, listen to live music, and most importantly, support our local community! 🩷🩵💜
