It is election time in Goldonna and there are candidates for nearly every office held. One thing is for certain, God has truly blessed Goldonna with many residents who truly care about moving the Village forward and making it the best it can possibly be. I am sure that any extra prayers you have laying around would surely not be wasted on all of the fine individuals who decided to run for re-election or election for the first time. Praying for your community is never wasted prayers. With all of the communication advances being made there is no telling what is in store for the future of this beautiful, hilly area of Natchitoches Parish.
It will soon be time to start planning the annual Christmas in the Park Festival. I hope everyone is ready to start pitching in! There are only 144 days until Christmas!
