Last week, on a terrible rainy Wednesday, we hosted the
Mayor Mark Blood Drive in
Bogue Falaya Hall. Despite the weather,
What a Success!!
The generous people of our community turned out in full force to share their gift of life.
For the next one in July, I'm adding some music and maybe a little greenery. Mmmm, maybe some
Al Green-ery.
Thank you Sister Marilyn for being you.

Litter is a problem that has plagued out community for decades. As Mayor, I have discovered that we do not have the resources nor the manpower to pick up all the litter that gets tossed on to our roadways. No, jail trustees are not the answer. Fewer people littering is the answer.
Big thanks to those residents who have "adopted" their block, their ditches and their catch basins to keep clean. Bag it and put it out with your Wednesday trash for pick-up.
Leaves and grass clippings blown into our ditches are a detriment to our drainage system and considered a form of "litter". They, too, should be bagged and placed curbside for Wednesday pick-up.

Our Farmer's Market
One of the Best
|
|
The Covington Saturday Farmer's Market began in the mid 1990's ... before buying locally farmed and locally produced products was a "thing."
It began at the The Market on Theard, moved to Marsolan's Feed and Seed Store's parking lot and finally settled into its current location on Columbia adjacent the Police Department.
Open every Saturday - rain or shine*. If it's raining, it's open.
Per Jan Biggs, "that's what rain or shine means" ; )
Today it boasts a wide array of quality goods, great live music 52 weeks a year and table of older men who solve the world's problem every Saturday morning. Unfortunately, the latter forget their solutions a short time later. This all makes the Saturday Farmer's Market a wonderful shopping experience every time.

Our Farmer's Market,

Open every Saturday - rain or shine*. If it's raining, it's open.
*OK, not every Saturday. If Christmas or New Year's Day falls on a Saturday, the market is closed. It was open the weekend of Hurricane Katrina, but did close the following Saturday.
