After giving Thanks, now is the time to shift gears, make a gumbo and do some Christmas shopping right here in Avoyelles!
Consider helping the locals this year, there are great gift shops and specialty shops here at home for the holidays. Select from artisan creations, culinary delicacies, cookware and, yes, home baked pies, hot chocolate bombs, or exclusively hand-selected items to create your own gift basket.
Heck, yea! Throw in a link of boudin and a pound of cracklings for “Santa!” Remember shopping local helps everyone everyday!
