🎉🎇Congratulations to the Slidell Rotary Clubs on a spectacular Heritage Festival! 🎇🎉

 

They had an incredible day filled with laughter, delicious food, lively music, and delightful activities for friends and family to enjoy. Everyone had a blast! Record crowd numbers!!

 

 

Guests were treated to a wide array of mouthwatering treats, savoring the flavors of Slidell’s scrumptious cuisine. The rhythmic beats of the music kept spirits high throughout the day, creating an energetic atmosphere. The children were thrilled with the multitude of engaging activities designed just for them.

 

In addition to creating a day filled with joy and laughter, the event served a greater purpose. It was a platform for supporting several well-deserving charities, including the Boy Scouts of America - Cypress District, Slidell Police Association, Hospice House, Slidell Church Basketball League, and The Good Samaritan Ministry. Thanks to everyone's presence and participation, we were able to make a significant difference in the lives of those in need.

 

The highlight of the evening was our breathtaking fireworks show, which commenced at 9 o'clock. The mesmerizing display of colors and lights illuminated the night sky, leaving everyone in awe.

 

The Club’s hope you had an unforgettable day of celebration and support. Together, Rotary made a positive impact and created lasting memories. Thank you for joining us!
