Highlighting the Coushatta Christmas Parade this year was Grand Marshal Katherine Smith.
Smith, a long-time member of the Coushatta-Red River Chamber of Commerce, was honored as the parade leader. She has been an integral part of the annual event for many years.

Smith works for the Red River Parish School Board as the homeless liaison and community outreach coordinator. She has spearheaded fund drives for children and adults in need, coordinated Christmas angels, and purchased countless school supplies for children. Her tireless efforts have not gone unnoticed by this town.

Her latest role in the town is on the Town Council, where she champions the community’s needs.

Surrounded by her family and friends, Smith was all smiles on parade day. This community is blessed to have such a faithful servant.
