We had a wonderful time rocking the sockhop today at the Annual Senior Day at the Fair. Huge shout goes out to Sheriff Doug Hebert and the Allen Parish Sheriff Department for cooking and supplying the delicious food. Ms. Sheila from Brighton Bridge Hospice for calling bingo, the Queens for their help, and last but certainly not least our DJ, Derrian Webb.

It looks like we’re in for a cold winter, and as you know, Allen Parish has many homeless individuals without a shelter. The Allen Council on Aging is seeking donations of winter clothing and items like gloves, socks, warm blankets, long-sleeved shirts, jackets, sweatpants, and more. If you have gently used items you no longer need, please consider donating them to the Allen Council on Aging, and we’ll ensure they reach someone in need.
