An estimated 13,000 cubic yards of Recycled Asphaltic Pavement — RAP — stretches around the city-owned property near the city barn, a result of the city-wide street improvement program. The city council recently adopted a resolution authorizing Mayor Chad Monceaux to sell a portion of the RAP determined to be surplus.

THE POST-SIGNAL / Steve Bandy
The inaugural Juneteenth Freedom Festival was held Saturday at the Martin Luther King Center. The celebration started out with prayer and a brief history lesson on the significance of Juneteenth inside the Center. A parade from the MLK Center, around the Acadia Parish Courthouse and back to the Center. On the grounds of the the Center were a fun jump and water slide for the children. Personnel from MedExpress provided the food for the BBQ burgers and hot dogs and (inset photo) Corey Miller (left) and Jerod Meaux were on hand to cook for the event. At top right, Walter Andrus, who spearheaded the day-long celebration shows off the “Welcome” banner outside the MLK Center. At lower right, riders on one of the trailers in the parade throw candy to onlookers. At left, the water slide was probably the most popular activity for the kids in attendance — and a way for them to beat the heat of the day.
