Avoyelles Parish prepared for the worst but was pleasantly surprised with only a moderate impact from a short visit by Tropical Storm Cindy this past week.

There was a definite “bayou” theme to the Marksville Farmers Market on June 10. The event is held every Saturday in June, but each one has special attractions.
Education Resource Strategies (ERS) has been contracted to prepare a report to help the Avoyelles School Board use its personnel and financial resources more effectively.
Town officials have decided to “invest in Mansura” to the tune of over $550,000 next year.
