This week in Ponchatoula
January 8, 2025
Ponchatoula, we’re off to an amazing start for 2025! Last week brought us cozy book clubs, creative workshops, and lively meetups that set the tone for a year full of inspiration and community connection. Whether you were sketching, sewing, or just sharing laughs over bingo, it was the perfect way to kick off the year together.
This week, the fun keeps rolling! From music classes and knitting circles to an art gallery opening and even a birthday bash, there’s no shortage of ways to stay engaged. Plus, it’s time to gear up for the Strawberry Festival with poster submissions and a coloring contest to showcase your creativity. Whether you’re diving into a history talk, relaxing at storytime, or enjoying a little friendly competition at a cook-off, there’s something for everyone.
Let’s keep the energy going, Ponchatoula—2025 is looking brighter every day!
