The fairboard attended the Natchitoches Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassador meeting yesterday to give our Merit Award for the 2024 Natchitoches Parish Fair & Rodeo. This year’s award was presented to Ms. Samantha LaCour for her hard work and help with numerous fair activities! Samantha was a HUGE help to our fairboard and offered a helping hand whenever needed.

We are so grateful to Samantha and all of the Chamber ambassadors that helped with the fair and rodeo and can’t wait for next year! 🎉🎡🎟️
