The spirit of community and cooperation is alive and well in Coushatta as the Town of Coushatta, Coushatta Red River Chamber of Commerce, and Red River Tourism Commission join together to provide funding for much-needed repairs and improvements to the stage and Santa House located on Front Street.

These Front Street landmarks play an important role in many of Coushatta’s community celebrations and special events. The stage hosts entertainment and community events throughout the year, and the Santa House has become a cherished part of the town’s Christmas traditions, making memories for local children and families during the holiday season.

Understanding the value of maintaining and enhancing these community assets, the three organizations joined together to pool resources and provide the funding necessary to make needed repairs. “The partnership is a great example of what can be accomplished when local organizations come together for a common cause.

The upgrades will help ensure that the stage and Santa House continue to be safe, attractive and welcoming spaces for residents and visitors. “This project is an investment in Front Street and the events and traditions that bring people together in downtown Coushatta, as well as addressing immediate repair needs.”

These kinds of community spaces do more than give downtown a nice look. They provide a place for residents to meet, they support local events and businesses, and they welcome visitors to the area and help preserve the traditions that make Coushatta and Red River Parish special.

The Town of Coushatta, Coushatta Red River Chamber of Commerce and Red River Tourism Commission are working together and it’s a great example of local organizations coming together and pooling their efforts and resources for the benefit of the entire community.

As repairs are made, the refurbished stage and Santa House will continue to be a center point for celebrations on Front Street and a reminder of the pride, partnership and community spirit that can be found throughout Coushatta and Red River Parish.

We can preserve our traditions, strengthen our community and keep Front Street a welcoming place for generations to come.
