This is homecoming week in Red River Parish. Red River High and Riverdale Academy are both celebrating this week. Both schools have events almost every day. Graduates of years ending in 8 are being celebrated.

Red River’s Homecoming football game will be against Lakeview while Riverdale is hosting Tallulah Academy.

Go to the game and enjoy the festivities and some great football. Complete details of the homecoming activities were in last Friday’s edition of The Journal. If you cannot attend you can listen to the games live online. The broadcast of both games begins at 6:45 and kickoff is 7:00 pm. Go The Journal’s website or social media pages where you will find a link to the broadcasts.

Yashica Turner at the Red River Parish Health Unit notified The Journal “Flu shots are now available. Please call 318-932-4087 for more information.”

What is all that yellow stuff along the roadway and in vacant lots around the parish? Probably Goldenrod! Fall brings cooler weather (finally) and also lots of plants that cause your allergies to kick into high gear.
