Belcher fall festival delights with live music, handcrafts

CADDO PARISH, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – The annual Belcher Fall Festival took place at Belcher Veterans Memorial Park for an evening of music, fun times, and good food. This fest gave the community a chance to relax and enjoy themselves without worrying about their day-to-day responsibilities. Attendee Britney Nugent said that this event was especially great for kids.

“We were just looking for something fun to take the kids out to. There are bouncy houses and all kinds of stuff for them to do, so they have fun for sure,” said Nugent.

Aside from family fun, festivals also give a big boost to local businesses. The representative for Rice Homestead, Annsley Rice, says she was very appreciative to be able to showcase the food items at the festival.

“I’m so thankful for the opportunity to set up because it’s a way for people to get to know the business. Getting the name out there and having repeat customers that will make custom orders after the festival is great,” said Rice.

The Belcher community also got the chance to listen to their local favorite, Jake Williams, as he performed live throughout the night.
