Richland Parish is digging out from the ice storm which froze the parish for almost a week.

“We experienced a very difficult time last week with the highly abnormal winter freeze,” Richland Parish Chamber of Commerce chairman Scott Franklin said. “I know many of you in Richland Parish went a long time without power and/or water, plus many in the agriculture industry experienced damage to property and livestock. With that said, we have been asked to pass along a survey for the state of Louisiana to account for property damage from the storm.”

Richland Parish riders did well in the 4-H youth horse show Jan. 23 at the Northeast Louisiana Livestock Show Barn in Delhi. Among the Richland 4-Hers taking part in the show were, from left, Nola Dickey, high point grand champion in the 13 and under category; Jasper Wiliamson; and Avery Stevenson, reserve grand champion winner. The annual 4-H horse show was a success thanks to the efforts of Jason Holmes and Jim McCann of LSU AgCenter and the parents, volunteers and sponsors.
