This week in Ponchatoula
December 4, 2024
Ponchatoula, you outdid yourselves on Small Business Saturday! From busy shops to happy faces, it was a fantastic show of support for our local businesses. And while last week may have been all about family, food, and shopping, this week we’re turning up the holiday magic. Don’t miss Friday’s Christmas Lighting Ceremony in downtown—perfect for making memories and snapping some festive photos. The weekend is packed with family-friendly fun, including Storytime with Santa, Winter Wonderland at PARD, and even a Snowy Night Paint Party. And, as always, there’s plenty of live music around town! It’s a magical time in Ponchatoula—let’s enjoy it together!
Check out our links about all of the great establishments in our city at the bottom of this issue. Be sure to add any that are missing and any upcoming events!
🐾Ponchy Pets: Adopt a bunny!
Presented by Kat Vet
Congrats to last week’s Ponchy Pet, Ellie, for finding her new home!
This week: Let’s talk bunnies!
“So many cute buns available for adoption. Everyone is spayed/neutered, microchipped with free registration, vaccinated for RHDV, and current on flea/ear mite prevention.”
If interested in adopting, please fill out this application and Kat Vet will be in touch with you shortly.
📜 Fun Fact of the Week!
Civil War Survivor: Ponchatoula survived two battles during the Civil War, and even though the train depot was burned down, it bounced back in style in 1895.
