The Louisiana Chamber of Commerce is hosting a public meeting to decide the fate of the Louisiana Country Colorfest on June 20 at 5:30pm in the Louisiana City Council Chambers of City Hall.  EVERYONE is encouraged to attend.  “The city has informed us that it is highly likely that Georgia Street will be under construction in some of the area previously used for the annual event, we need a plan B”  remarked chamber president Cindy Blaylock. 

The chamber board of directors is interested in getting ideas from the public not only about a possible move of the venue for the event but for new ideas to freshen up the event and what it offers the community.  One board member suggested “this may be a blessing in disguise, an opportunity to recreate the event”.  Individuals, businesses and organizations who are stakeholders are encouraged to attend so that their voice may be heard. 

“There are some who have suggested we simply not have Colorfest this year. I believe in keeping it positive and just taking this opportunity to breathe new life into an event that so many in  our town look forward to each year.  We have visitors throughout the weekend for the annual alumni event, often time it falls on Homecoming; we just need to make it better not skip it!” commented Blaylock.
