Peach fans, it’s your turn

Louisiana Peach Festival fans, this one’s for you — literally. The fate of the 2017 festival poster in your hands, or more aptly, at your fingertips.

In the midst of amazing talent

in
Bleich, Joe C.jpg

It has been said that a “prophet has no honor in his own country.”
Put another way, there are highly talented and great persons within our midst of whom we are unaware or take for granted.
