Whether in business, within civic organizations, or as part of government entities, there are women in leadership roles throughout Vermilion Parish.
As the 100th president of the Vermilion Chamber of Commerce, Megan Landry-Lalande wanted to help create an event that would not only recognize those women leaders but would help encourage other women to take a step to become leaders in the community.
That event came to fruition Thursday as the Vermilion Chamber played host to the first-ever women’s leadership luncheon, which took place at L’eglise.

You know the old saying, “You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.”
For 2020, the Louisiana Cattle Festival is gone.
Organizers made the tough decision to cancel this year’s event because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Those same organizers have every intention of bringing the Cattle Festival back in ‘21.
And that starts with a fundraising effort, aptly named Save the Cattle Festival.
“We’re doing this fundraiser to keep the festival going,” Cattle Festival President Francis Plaisance said. “It’s been a festival for 72 years.”
