I’m a sucker for a good cause and the members of the Sunshine Club of Algiers have a great cause behind their annual Turkey Bingo.

Halloween is just a week away, but there is still time to make your plans to have a little fun on the West Bank. Pumpkin Patch St. Mark’s Church in Harvey (3245 Manhattan Blvd) is holding a pumpkin patch every day through Halloween. The patch is open weekdays and Saturday from 9 am to dusk…
This year was the first one in a long time that I wasn’t able to attend all three days of the annual Heritage Festival in Gretna LA. But, despite the fact that I missed Sunday, I was still able to get some pictures and video of all of the festivities. The festival seems to get…

I put several creole tomato plants in my vegetable garden this year. Some in pots, some in the ground…all in an attempt to have them fresh and ready to pick right in my back yard. They are doing OK, but I’m sure this heat wave isn’t helping, and I’ve only managed to harvest about a…
What kid wouldn’t trade some summer time reading for the chance to win an iPad, a Nook Color or Leapster Explore!? Well, the Jefferson Parish summer reading program kicks off this weekend on both the East and West Banks and gives them a chance to do just that. Time to step away from the video…
Who doesn’t love a military band? Saturday afternoon, we have a chance to attend a free Armed Forces Day Concert in Brechtel Park in Algiers. If this is even half as much fun as when the Navy band played in the park, it will be a fantastic way to end your day. Pack an ice…
