A Month for Festivals

42nd Audubon PilgrimageMarch 15-17

Jackson Antiques Show & SaleMarch 22-24

Zachary Arts & Music FestivalMarch 21-24

You don’t have to travel far to fill your weekends with fun this month. Three local festivals, the Audubon Pilgrimage in St. Francisville, the Jackson As-sembly Antiques Show and Sale in Jackson and the Zachary Arts and Music Festival in Zachary will offer several days worth of child- and adult-friendly entertainment as the weather begins to warm. Details for each event are provided below.

The 42nd Annual Audubon Pilgrimage, to be held March 15–17, celebrates a southern spring in St. Francisville, the glorious garden spot of Louisiana’s English Plantation Country. For over four decades the sponsoring West Feliciana Historical Society has thrown open the doors of significant historic structures to commemorate artist-naturalist John James Audubon’s stay as he painted a number of his famous bird folios and tutored young Eliza Pirrie of Oakley.

Features of the 2013 Audubon Pilgrim-age include a historic townhouse (Evergreen-zine) and three country plantations (Wakefield, Beechwood and Catalpa), plus Rosedown and Audubon State Historic Sites, Afton Villa Gar-dens, and three 19th century churches. The Rural Homestead will also be open with lively dem-onstrations of the rustic skills of daily pioneer

The 48th Annual Jackson Assembly Antiques Show and Sale will be held March 22-24 this year in historic downtown Jackson, La. Started in 1964, this event is put on by the Jackson As-sembly, a civic organization dedicated to the preservation of historic structures in the Jackson area.

All the traditional activities will be offered including over 20 antique dealers from through-out the south selling elegant antiques and col-lectibles, a self-guided walking tour of the His-toric District including three historic churches and the original 1816 Feliciana courthouse, a re-gional artists’ show and sale, and, of course, the popular Gumbo Kitchen lunch fair for hungry antiquers looking to fill their bellies with home cooking and delicious desserts.

Every year, the Show also features an addi-

The 7th annual Zachary Arts & Music Festi-val, presented by the Zachary Chamber of Com-merce and Abita Brewery, will be held March 21–24 on the grounds of BREC’s Community Park, 20055 Old Scenic Hwy.

There will be as many as 100 regionally and locally renowned artists selling their work, in-credible food vendors, a petting zoo and pony rides, paddleboards on the lake, a rock wall, bungee bounce, mechanical bull, gyroscope and many more activities for all ages to enjoy. The evenings will come alive with musical entertain-ment.

Festival Director Megan Andrews explained that there are several new developments this year that provide additional fun for festival at-tendants.

In the first place, the cultural elements of the

life. The town’s early Market Hall, c. 1819, hosts the popular antiques show and sale, while the newly ren-ovated Temple Sinai will showcase the works of several Louisiana art-ists. Tour houses are open from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This year’s carefully selected features vividly illustrate how many early families were closely related by blood or marriage, thus intertwin-ing their heritage and homes in the fascinating fabric of Feliciana his-tory. Martha Barrow Turnbull of Rosedown Plantation had a daughter named Sarah who would marry the son of Oakley’s Eliza Pirrie, whose first husband was Martha’s brother and whose second husband was the Reverend William R. Bowman of Grace Church.

Wakefield Plantation and Beech-wood were both part of early settler Alexander Stirling’s immense land grant holdings, and Stirling is buried in the Beechwood cemetery beside his wife Ann Alston, her sister Lu-

cretia Alston Pirrie of Oakley and Lucretia’s daughter Eliza Pirrie.

Catalpa Plantation was the home of Willie Fort, who was so taken with Eliza’s beautiful Bowman granddaughters that he married, not one, but two of them.

The Historic District around Roy-al Street will be filled during the day with the happy sounds of costumed children singing and dancing the Maypole; in the evening as candles

flicker and fireflies flit among the an-cient moss-draped live oaks, there is no place more inviting for a leisurely stroll.

Friday evening features an Audu-bon skit in Market Hall (5:30 to 6 p.m.), old-time hymn singing at the United Methodist Church (6 to 7 p.m.), graveyard tours at Grace Epis-copal Cemetery (last tour begins at 8:30 p.m.), and a wine and cheese reception at Bishop Jackson Hall (7 to 9 p.m.) featuring a casual style show of the Pilgrimage’s exquisitely detailed 1820s costumes, nationally recognized for their authenticity.

Top off your day of touring histor-ic homes and landmarks on Saturday, March 16 by joining a lively crowd for an evening of fun, food, drink, and music at the 8th Annual Saturday Soiree. Aptly themed “Light Up The Night”, the 7 p.m. event is a highly anticipated outdoor affair on Pros-perity Street in St. Francisville’s His-toric District. Enjoy dinner catered by Heirloom Cuisine, locally made desserts, complimentary beer and wine, a cash bar and wine tasting by Purveyors of Fine Wine, then dance under the stars to the music of The

Feliciana Band. For tickets and tour information,

Missy Meaux Higgins, a native of Eunice and long-time St. Fran-cisville resident, reigns as chair-man of the 42nd Annual Audubon Pilgrimage.

Missy and husband Miles moved to West Feliciana Parish over 13 years ago. They are now raising three daughters, Maggie (14), Landry (11) and Lilly (6). Missy has played an active role in Pilgrimage activities over the last

several years, including being a home coordinator, chairing Friday Evening Activities and also chair-ing the Saturday Evening Soiree. She also serves on the board of St. Francisville Area Foundation, has served as president of Wom-en’s Service League of St. Fran-cisville and treasurer of Grace Episcopal Church. Professionally, Missy began her career as a CPA with KPMG Peat Marwick after graduating from LSU’s College of Business Administration in Ac-counting. In 1995, she left KPMG to supervise the financial depart-ment of The Relocation Center, which she now owns with her husband and his family. In 2009, she moved into the role of presi-dent/CEO with The Relocation Center and, at that time, moved the company’s offices to St. Fran-cisville. In 2012, she and Miles purchased the original post office next to the West Feliciana Parish Museum and renovated the build-ing to house The Relocation Cen-ter’s offices. Missy enjoys playing tennis and reading and spending time with her family at their beach house.

The U.S. Postal Service an-nounced a reduction in the hours of operation at the Post Office in Nor-wood in a public meeting held Feb-ruary 21 at the Norwood Fire De-partment.

The representative on hand that evening explained that, due to bud-get cuts and the results of a public survey, the following hours of opera-tion will be en force effective April 6: Monday – Friday from 12 p.m. – 6 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. Saturday delivery service will also be discontinued, excepting packages.

Jennie Jelks, clerk for the Town of Norwood, explained that this ac-tion by the Post Office was one of two options presented to the public in a survey that was sent out to resi-dents of the area. Two options were presented in the survey in order to address budget cuts, either to reduce the hours of operation at the Post Of-fice or to close it entirely.

Norwood is not the first U.S. Post Office in East Feliciana Parish to face this issue. Post offices in the communities of Ethel and Slaughter, for instance, have also been forced to cut their hours.

Jelks indicated that the change has upset some community mem-bers and may cause problems for some elderly residents of the com-munity who depend on others for transportation who may not be able to accommodate the new hours.

Jelks also explained that this will cause a delay in postal delivery and the subsequent ability to make de-posits at the bank. With the Post Of-fice opening at noon on weekdays, mail will not be processed until sometime between 1 and 1:30 p.m., postal employees told Jelks. Be-cause the bank closes at 2 p.m. three days a week, this will affect the abil-ity for small businesses and govern-ment agencies, including Town Hall, to make timely deposits, Jelks said.

Four members of the Lane Re-gional Medical Center Auxiliary were recognized for their service to the hospital at the Auxiliary’s gen-eral meeting on Tuesday, February 19. Pauline Rushing presented each

member with a ser-vice pin representing their hours of ser-vice.

Auxiliary mem-bers receiving pins were Emmy Bris-ter with 5,000 hours of service, Pauline Rushing with 3,000 hours of service, Eva Jones with 3,000 hours of service and Frances Normand with 1,000 hours of service.

The Lane Auxil-iary that has approxi-mately 50 active members, has been

in existence since 1960, providing volunteer service and financial sup-port to the hospital. For information about how to become a volunteer, contact the hospital gift shop at 225-658-4309.

tional historic structure on its tour; this year, the featured tour is of the Professor’s Cottage at Cente-nary State Historic Site as well as the two-story columned 1837 West Wing Dormitory.

The Professor’s Cottage was built in 1898 and rented to a profes-sor and his family for about $125 per year. It was one of the four faculty houses owned by the College, in-cluding the President’s Cottage.

A typical late Victorian raised cottage; it contains six rooms on the first floor. A second floor attic is reached only by a trap door cut into the twelve foot high ceiling. Wide front and side porches feature “steamboat” gingerbread, so-called because it follows the pattern used in the woodwork of steamboats of the days.

Although not original to the house, the furniture throughout is from the late 1800s and is typical of what would be found in a home of that time period. The house also contains several photographs of the college and many of the books origi-nal to the college during its time in Jackson.

Even if you have already visited Centenary, you will want to drop by again to be among one of the first visitors to view a fascinating new video presentation. The 18-minute video, unveiled last November, cov-ers the full history of the College, from its 1826 beginnings, through the difficult Civil War period when the college was turned into a hospital and was even the site of battle, to its closing and relocation to Shreveport in 1908. The video then recounts how the original campus and its buildings changed hands over the next 60 years, facing demolition of

some of its buildings and extreme disrepair before the state purchased it and restored the current standing structures.

Admission to the Antiques Show and Sale is $10 and includes the tour of the Professor’s Cottage and the West Wing at Centenary as well as entrance to the churches and court-house on the walking tour. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and Satur-day and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. The Professor’s Cottage will be open from noon until 4 p.m. daily. The $10 ticket is good for all three days.

All proceeds from the event sup-port the preservation activities of the Jackson Assembly, which, over the decades, has been directly respon-sible for the preservation of seven historic structures and has indirectly influenced the preservation of up-wards of 35 structures.

For more information, call 225-634-7155 or email [email protected].

The Children’s Summer Art Program in Jackson is holding a fundraiser during the Jackson Assembly Antiques Show and Sale this year. Caroline Har-rell, local art instructor, has do-nated an original oil painting to be raffled during the event. The public is invited to view the painting at her home, 2733 Carolyn Sue Dr., on the dates and during the times of the An-tiques Show. Original works of art by the children of the Sum-mer Art Program will also be on view. Raffle tickets are $2 each and will be sold in advance as well as at the Antiques Show. The drawing will be held at 4 p.m. on Sunday, March 24. All proceeds will be used to pur-chase supplies for the free art classes offered by Harrell dur-ing the summer as part of the Jackson Library Summer Chil-dren’s Program.

Last week, Jackson Elementary School (JES) received some spe-cial visitors from Rice University who chose to come to Louisiana for a teaching experience during their spring break. The visitors were a group of college students and a staff member from Rice University who embarked on a journey that began months ago with fundraising activi-ties to pay for an experience they all called “life changing.”

“This is my third year coming to Jackson Elementary,” said Adrianna Morell, one of the project leaders. “My favorite part of this trip is see-ing the kids learn. I enjoy helping the teachers, but it has made me love being in the classroom.” Morell said that because of her experiences with the students, she plans to be a teach-er when she graduates college.

Morell was one of 12 college students on the trip, and according to Megan Phillips, JES school prin-cipal, the students from Rice were a welcome help. “They were all as-signed a class to work with for the week, and the sky was the limit on what they could do.”

The students helped out wherever they were needed. Some students asked if they could teach a lesson, others were just an extra set of eyes and ears.

The 5th grade students were treat-ed to a field trip to LSU with the vis-iting college students. They toured the campus, visited LSU’s National

History Museum and were treated to lunch in the LSU Student Union.

As part of the mission of the field trip—to focus on what it takes to get to college—the students were taken on a surprise tour of Tiger Stadium where they got to run out on the field where the players themselves enter. They also got to meet LSU quarter-back Zach Mettenberger who talked to the students about the commit-ment it takes in school to play sports in college.

Phillips said that the point of the

trip was to have fun and to give the young students the opportunity to actually be on a college campus, get them excited about college and en-courage them to stay on the college path.

The Rice students were housed by the United Methodist Church in Jackson; and in the words of Phil-lips, the church and staff were “su-per helpful” in welcoming the stu-dents and making them comfortable.

The group returned to Houston on Saturday, March 2, but took with

them an experience that changed their lives and touched the lives of the students and teachers at JES. “They were just great, and it was a wonder-ful treat to have so many young men come on the trip and teach the chil-dren. With most teachers in elemen-tary education being women, it is not something [the students] experience very often,” said Phillips.

Jackson Elementary houses chil-dren in grades pre-K through 5th grade.
