Your Vernon Parish Chamber of Commerce Annual Christmas parade rolled through historic downtown Leesville recently. The community turned out by the thousands and there was no shortage of candy and Christmas cheer. With almost 90 entries, the 2009 parade was met withy rave reviews. Citizens on hand commented that it was one of the best parades in recent memory.
The 2009 Grand Marshall, Leesville Mayor Betty Westerchil, kicked off the festivities with the help of the Fort Polk/JRTC Color Guard and Polk Commander BG James Yarbrough. The 83rd Chemical Company Commander was also on hand to support this community and brought along some interesting military vehicles for parade-goers to enjoy. The support from Fort Polk continued with the entry of 162nd infantry heavy vehicles.
As the parade rolled past the Vernon Parish Police Jury office they were announced to the attendees and the volunteer judges. Based on creativity, Christmas spirit and the degree of work, the judges chose winners for each category and chose a winner for best float overall. Santa Claus rode down 3rd Street marking the end of the annual event. Attendees who followed him were greeted by the announcement of the winners of the cash prizes awarded by the stage sponsor, Navy Federal Credit Union. Navy Federal Manager, Kate Safstrom alongside Sammy the Sea Otter, and the staff of the Leesville Fort Polk branch drew tickets to determine which lucky patrons would go home with cash in hand. $600 in cash prizes were awarded to the holders of drawn tickets.
For the category of Automobiles, The Neal Family took home the prize with their entry in loving memory of Kevin Neal. The category of Marching Units/Drill Teams went to a repeat winner, The Interdenominational Church of Faith for their spirited performance. Galilee Baptist Church took home the prize for the category of Churches/Civic Clubs for their festive and musical float. The winner chosen for the Commercial category was Leesville Residential & Employment Services. This is a proud second consecutive win for Leesville Residential. Leesville Junior High JAG claimed the win for the best School Organization/Club category. The best Marching Band category win was clenched by the Leesville High School Band with an energetic performance.
The Grand Marshall Award for best overall float was presented by 2009 Grand Marshall, Leesville Mayor Betty Westerchil. The winner for this category cemented themselves as master float craftsman. The Antioch Baptist Church Puppet Team of Leesville has taken home the Grand Marshall for the second consecutive year. Antioch Baptist has previously claimed the prize in the Churches/Civic Club category as well proving that they are stiff competition for many years to come.

Since 2007, White Ribbon Alliance has been building support and visibility at Glastonbury Festival in the UK – the world’s biggest open air music festival, with 200,000 visitors and 2,000 journalists from 70 countries.
Our team of dedicated volunteers has pasted stick-on “heart mum” tattoos on the arms of festival goers while talking to them about how we keep girls and women safe in pregnancy and birth. We have “made a noise for mums” with a record breaking drum roll lead from the stage by pop stars Rudimental, Lily Allen and Shlomo. We have invited celebrities and to have their photos taken in WRA photoframes, shared widely on social media, raising awareness of our brand and our issues. Our Global Champion Sarah Brown has joined us at Glastonbury with supermodel supporter Naomi Campbell. And then in 2016 we stood in solidarity after the murder of our colleague Jo Cox, MP, who had been instrumental in the strategy to win international support for maternal and newborn health.
In 2017, the plan was to draw attention to WRA’s role in promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights by building on the growing momentum of the women’s rights marches around the world. We made an exhibition in our tent of the best and funniest of the placards – ranging from “Misters for the Sisters” to “Girls just want to have fun-damental human rights,” inviting festival goers to come in and make their own before joining us on the stage of the Park field in our own #RESIST rally.
