The festival is held the first
full weekend in November and is held in downtown Colfax, Louisiana.
Festival events include the Grand Parade, live music, contests,
fireworks and the Queen's Ball. We look forward to seeing you in downtown Colfax!
On behalf of the board of directors of the Louisiana Pecan Festival, we
would like to thank you for your continued involvement in our festival.
It is unfortunate that as times change so must the festival. This letter
is to inform you that the rising cost of security and insurance has
become almost unbearable for the festival to undertake alone. The
Louisiana Pecan Festival is asking for your help. We are asking that
each club contribute $250 towards the cost of security and insurance.
Once paid the office will provide you with a receipt for your club that
will allow you to pass through security on Front Street for the Friday
afternoon during the festival.
Our festival is
merely a community service; we would appreciate the help in our goal to
conserve this historical event. The profits made from the festival each
year are donated to our parish schools. In an effort to support our
community and parish we would like to thank you for your cooperation
with us in this matter.
